Do Brisbane need a priority pick?

[schmuttt]

I think they do. Won't fix everything, but they do need a boost. Had a shocking draw to start the year, but are now getting flogged by a fairly average Collingwood side. Think if the AFL is serious about footy in QLD and the Lions don't have a dramatic turnaround between now and round 23, they need draft assistance.

 

[WWSD]

The AFL could start by giving them an easier draw first.

No they don't deserve it. You think the afl helped any victorian side while they were down?? No. They can cop it like all of us. Glad we are smashing them tonight. ****ing loving every second .

I agree. They dug themselves into this hole by mortgaging their future back in 09, and sacking their coach when they were finally getting it together, causing a mass exodus of players.

They can get themselves out of this mess like every other club had to.

I'm pretty sure Melbourne and Carlton have had priority picks.

Pretty sure. Might want to do some research on that.

Since 2004 (12 years+) Brisbane & Melbourne have been easily the 2 worst performed sides in the comp.

Very much worse than the next 2 - Richmond & Carlton even.

I'm pretty sure Melbourne at least has had a priority pick in that time.

 

[BM123]

Brisbane really need to move on Leppa now.

No reason why they should be getting smashed by a ordinary Collingwood outfit.

What happened to Collingwood in 2005 anyway? Didn't they have a bonus high draft pick as well? How did the Pies get 2 picks in the Top 5?!?!?

Not to mention that the AFL went out of it's way to revamp Melbourne from the top down and paid Roos a fair bit to coach Melbourne.

 

[clivenator26]

Yes and any team that finishes below them can get one too

Seem to remember Collingwood benefiting from a priority pick....

But let's not let facts get in the way here.

 

[Ok Boomer]

There is no way they are getting one if Melbourne 2013 didn't. I suggest you watch some Mark Neeld Melbourne before making priority pick threads, because that is the bare minimum of shitness required.

No PPs handed out since 2009. None handed out under the changed rules.

*Priority picks before the first round.

 

[Dez!]

No they don't, they just need some luck in staying healthy and time for their young key position players to develop.

*Priority picks before the first round.

Okay, West Coast got one in 2010. None since 2010 then. One whole year's difference.

 

[Bluelegs]

Numerous times.

Very short memories in this thread

Haha, thanks for the laugh, Minor Premiers by definition don't need a priority pick lol!

You signed Ross Lyon long-term - this is what you get mate!

Yes but the afl isn't getting butt****ed by the Nrl in Victoria. It sure is in Brisbane

Brisbane, Port Adelaide and Gold Coast got one in 2011.

Agree. They need an experienced coach. I think they should go after Brett Ratten.

 

[BallaratBulldog]

They need to retain players.

 

[NathanMX]

Frankly if you were told your club would win 3 flags in a row then bottom out for the next decade and a half you would take it or nah?

Surely any success is a good thing even when it goes away, and can always live on the memory of coming as close as anyone to equalling the 4 in a row of Collingwood.

 

[daniel_4tw]

They need a new coach...

Leppa is useless. Worse than Voss. Worse than Neeld.

Get an experienced coach (no more favourite sons) and watch things turn around.

 

[Tulip]

Contingent on them sacking the coach, yes. They really need the help. Preferably a pick between finals and non-finals, 10~
