Draft Situation

[Ricky_15]

Can someone please explain to me what will happen if....

Melbourne win 4 games and the tigers finish last?

what will the draft pick scenario be?

cheers.

From what I have read on multiple sites we would end up with picks 1 and 3.

ie priority pick (1) then a regular first round pick as the next team after the Tiges which is obviously pick 3.

Richmond had 11 wins last year and a draw so even if they hypothetically lost every game this year they wouldn't get a PP prior to the 1st round for this years draft.

Edit: Richmond would qualify for a 2nd round PP this year like we did last year but we get a 1st round PP this year if we don't win over 4 games (less than 16.5 premiership points) for the second season in a row.

Just spoke to my mate about this exact thing. He seems to think we will get picks 1 & 3 if Richmond get the spoon. He said it happened when Carlton was last 2 years ago.

Yes because the priority comes first, then it goes into the normal draft order.

Whilst picks 1 and 2 would be nice, I'd be very happy if we could get 4 wins and not finish last. We shouldn't aim to collect wooden spoons.
