A team winning the spoon 3 years in a row is too much.
People overrate picks but we are seeing more and more first year players impacting. A priority pick at the end of the 1st isn’t going to kill the competition.

Yeah no problem with an end of first rounder and a couple of extra rookie spots. They won’t get much more than that.

Historically bad team. Gold coast level but without the talent
Ild give them 2 and a slap to anyone who underrates how much Cunnington has held the midfield together for all these years

I don't like North but what's the point of the PP if it doesn't go to teams that need it? AFL has been content to prop up many clubs with cash and academy support for decades, I don't see the difference. Give them two for all the difference it makes, the AFL is not an equal competition and never has been.
I think there should be some sort of Priority pick that has to be traded to bring in a more mature player to help immediately.
Give them an end of first round pick that they can't use themselves but can trade to any club for a player. That way they can keep their standard pick but also get a pick around 18-20 to bring in a decent player.

One issue is they may not get market value for the pick because they have no choice but to trade it.
And another club benefits with an end of first round selection they otherwise might not have received for a player leaving.
IMO North should receive as much financial help as they need- if it means the AFL pay out Noble's contract, I'd have no problem with that.
But no priority pikkies sorry. They have the best young talent in the league they don't need any more.

Freo's young talent is considerably better than North's, as evident by last night.
Their young player development is starting to become a real concern, Zurhaar, Simpkin, Thomas and LDU have all gone backwards.
Sacking Noble is a start, but they need more help than that.

It’s both, the playing group have lost confidence and frustrated, but the coaching has been just as bad, many players are played out of positions, the seniors aren’t pulling their weight and they aren’t manning up or playing with a good game plan. The main problem is the senior players, they need a few more mature bodies out there to help the kids

How many years of hearing they have all this talent must we endure? Clearly there are some players there not reaching their potential.

PP should not be on the table for clubs who put themselves in the precarious position.
It should be reserved for clubs who lose a chunk of players through no fault of their own (injuries, unexpected retirements etc).
Getting rid of your senior players and not committing to a rebuild but instead going after 30+ yo recruits should not be rewarded.

Does our best player having cancer and a coach having a nervous breakdown count?

How on earth do you come to this conclusion? We haven't beaten you since 2016 and we are currently far worse than we've been in all that time..

Give them one if they promise no Friday night games for two seasons. Sick of watching North spudding it up.

Last night's game was not on Free to Air either, so technically it shouldn't count imo

I'm not targeting anyone. Just commenting on football on a football forum. I've said positive and negative things about your club. But spare me the victim status - your fans gave it as much as you've copped it back.

North are still trying but just don’t have the cattle. We have just downed tools which is worse.

Just a reminder that Brisbane had 5 first round picks walk out the door in 2013. AFL didn’t step in until 3 years later with one end of first rounder.
North fans might want to temper expectations.

Yeo and Docherty were the only 2 real significant losses from the go home 5 in hindsight for the Lions to be fair

The hindsight is completely irrelevant in this context though.
At the time they projected as a significant loss, and the AFL didn’t seem to consider it PP worthy.
Arguably it was somewhat self inflicted as our culture was in the toilet but it’s definitely not as self-inflicted as North intentionally cutting deep.
