That is the whole point it is called equalisation policies by the AFL......rofl....Well it cuts both ways to be honest when it comes to equalization.
They intend it to cut both ways. Top to come down and bottom to come up...

Exactly. That why I pointed it out.That’s so irrelevant because they didn’t have a draft or priority picks back then
I think it’s very unlikely that we win another game and it would be 1 max if we did. If we don’t win another game that percentage will drop down even more to record levels.
I think most would agree a 3 year stretch is the right amount of time to assess a team on if they deserve a priority pick or not. 4 years is getting a bit too far back and 2 years isn’t enough. The old system used 3 years to determine priority picks and I think most would agree that is about right.
If North don’t win another game for the year, it will be the worst 3 year period since the draft was introduced over 30 years ago. Whether people think a priority pick will make a difference or not is irrelevant. If North don’t qualify by winning a record low 8 games over 3 years, then it may as well be scrapped because no one will ever qualify to get one.

Newflash.And with the clowns running the list management recruiting dept at arden st they will most likely pick another speculative kid that will be delisted in 3-4 years time.
ExactlyNewflash.
Their list management dept had top 3 men leave already...
It has not been perfect but most list managements are that way.Exactly
The fact that these 3 men 'LEFT' and were not sacked leaves questions to yet be answered
the recruiting drafting and list management has been terrible and been allowed to continue until these blokes decided to leave
Priority picks should not exist. The fact that we won't win a game before 2024 does not change that.
Exactly. That why I pointed it out.
Before draft and salary cap bottoms teams could be down much longer times.
Now it may only be for half a decade, not four times as long.....
I do not think they are. Seen plenty of worse sides that had less young talent on their list than North.Right now a priority pick allowance does exist and North are the worst performing team since the priority system was introduced.
As bad as North Melbourne is, North isn't the worst side in 30 years. North isn't even the worst side in 10 years. Melbourne under Mark Neeld in 2012-3 was worse than Norths current team.Priority picks do exist and your opinion that they shouldn’t is irrelevant. We are the worst performing side in 30 years, so under the current system we are eligible for compensation.

While I think that Norths problems can’t be solved through draft assistance alone, guys like Newcombe last year and d’ambrosio this year would slot straight into their best 22.In 2018 Carlton were given access to 2 mature age second tier players. In 2018 there was no MSD or supplement list spots to be filled, which allowed 12 months for a mature age player to stamp their mark and get picked up. Under the previous system, 12 months was a decent amount of time for a 2nd tier player to come on and add value to a list. With the MSD and supplement list spots filled prior to the season, it really makes the same access now compared to 2018 pointless.
We just had the MSD draft, what mature age player is going to come out of nowhere between now and the end of year draft?

The problem with North is that these guys were there for the taking and they didn’t pick them.
Would much rather them have extra $$$ in putting into their football dept soft cap to help them identify and develop talent. Having an assistant coach being paid by putting them on the playing list means someone is torching their soft cap spend.
I wonder what North fans think of this.
I think North deserve a PP.
But even if I didn't, all of these "Oh they buggered up their list so it's all their own fault and they shouldn't get one!" comments are a bit rich. Pretty much EVERYONE who got a priority pick had dug their own hole in some way, either by
a) Deliberately tanking (Melbourne and Carlton in the late 2000s)
b) Being busted cheating and still suffering from the penalties (Carlton mid 2000s)
c) A recent history of poor trading/drafting/development (Richmond through the late 90s and 2000s, Gold Coast in the 2010s)
d) Misjudging their own list (Hawthorn were talking about challenging for the flag in 2004 before cratering and going into an enforced rebuild)
If the idea of "they ducked themselves up, they have to dig themselves out" applied, literally almost none of the previous priority winners should have received one.
So why is North suddenly so different?
We aren't, but opposition supporters are just greedy and understand that top draft picks are the most valuable commodity.
Hence the "they don't deserve one, give them 2 state league players instead" despite that basically being rendered void by the MSD.
This thread BINGO should be:
- They don't deserve it, they brought it on themselves
- They aren't even the worst team in the comp
- Next year they will have a case...
- Carlton got denied a PP after recieving a bag full of them after they cheated, so North shouldn't get one, just because...
- State League players...
- Mature Agers..
- More young talent isnt going to do anything for them...
Not saying North shouldn’t get something (I think likely is end of first round or maybe mid first round at most), but to claim we were knocked back for a priority pick because we had priority picks before us bizarre.
It wasn’t like some deal was made in 2010 to just give everyone a priority pick who hadn’t had one previously.
That was due to a curse thoughFurther to this point, before the era's of draft and salary cap, Melbourne did not make finals from 1965 until 1987
Five or six years without finals is nothing in comparison.
Fair point.That was due to a curse though
You were knocked back because you tanked your asses off, along with Melbourne and Richmond to an extent.
Or have you forgotten the Kruezer Cup?
It formed most of the reason you didn't get one a few years ago.
It’s as if blues fans have forgotten about their garbage past and priority picks given to them
Of all clubs fans please pipe down in this thread

North Melbourne will turn it around

Relegation - you know it's the right option!
