Not bad for a club that started rebuilding in 2016.
There's geniuses at the helm at Arden Street.

At the end of 2019 Gold Coast had won 7 games in the two previous years and received compensation pick 1 first pick of round 2 and pick 11 in the next year draft as well as extra concessions for zone players academy players etc. Kangas won 3 games last year hard to see us winning 4 this year what will the AFL give us?
Good luck if you do get one though, but I reckon we'd be rightfully aggrieved over at Carlton if you do.
There's other factors besides wins & losses in the formula.
What was Carlton's injury toll during that period? North's has bordered on catastrophic since the midway point of 2016.
Won’t our injuries work against us getting draft assistance?
They can pretty much say if you get your injury management right then you’ll be more competitive.
Can you back this up with fact, or is it just your assumption?No. Injuries are a factor in the calculations.
So no fact, just an assumption. All the above states is that the injury list will be considered. It doesn't state a large injury list gives you a better chance of a priority pick. Any rational person understands that a large injury list will work against the allocation of a priority pick. We're not as bad as we seem because of our injury list. We still have Anderson, Polec, Taz, Dumont, McDonald and Corr to come back into the side. Why would the AFL give us a priority pick as well?It's been reported in several media sources.
How does a team receive a priority pick?
Previously a priority was given based on final finishing positions of teams. In 2012 the system was tweaked when all 18 clubs voted to revamp the criteria of priority picks in an attempt to avoid corruption.
The final decision is now at the complete discretion of the AFL as opposed to relating purely to finishing position.
Several factors determine whether a club is offered a priority draft pick:
The number of premiership points that a club has received over a period of years is taken into consideration, with greater weight being offered to more recent seasons.
A club’s point percentage (points for/points against x100) over a period of years is also taken into consideration. Again, there is an emphasis on recent seasons for weighting.
Finals appearances and premiership wins in recent seasons are also taken into account.
The AFL will also consider a club’s injury rates in each relevant season.

The AFL draft's priority pick rule has caused plenty of confusion for fans since it was introduced in 1993. Fortunately, The Roar is here…www.theroar.com.au

I still interpret the injury thing the opposite way.
But anyway, in the end the AFL will just make it up as they go and do what they want.
Try reading the rest of my post.No it does factor in, but mostly against you. If the Dogs had a few sh*t years on the back of Bont and Smith doing knees, that wouldnt assist them in asking for a priority pick; it would have the opposite effect.
It's basically temporary shitness due to injury.

Injuries actually tip the scales against you (the rationale being if you're sh*t simply due to injuries for a year, you're not really sh*t).
Why would the AFL give us a priority pick as well?
Isn’t a root cause of GC the go-home factor? And thus the academy is a solution?fu** priority picks. The best thing the AFL could do to assist ALL clubs when they are in a downturn is to fix the draft.
No father-son. No academies or NGA zones. No free agency compo.
Then you won't get the number one pick going to a top 8 team, or teams cashing in junk picks to take two in the top 10.
Priority picks are just a band aid. GWS may have had marginally better concessions than Gold Coast but that's not why they played in a grand final while GC are yet to play a final. Far better to identify and find solutions to root causes, for example through soft cap measures.
Yes, but the academy does not address it. You are not going to create a pool of players in Southern Queensland to make a viable team.Isn’t a root cause of GC the go-home factor? And thus the academy is a solution?
Pretty much. Their focus is expansion, and those clubs. Academies, COLA, priority picks and 'special marketing allowance' or whatever it takes.
In the past the AFL has actually preferred having North on its knees (trying to force you guys to relocate, or merge). That's not a diss against North, that's a diss against the AFL. That said, it doesnt give me any hope that they'll go out of their way to throw priority picks your way, if things go south.
If things go completely pear shaped, the AFL have runs on the board in screwing you guys over, not in helping you out.
So if we get the priority pick do we take the 2 best which are both mids in Horne and Sonsie
Or do we take a JVR the best key forward in combo with one of the above
Knackers?Hey, where have you been knackers?
