We're in agreement that being a good team is a way off.
yes, its a while off. just like its a while off for lots of teams. a good team is earnt and built, not gifted. unlike many other teams, lions have a promising future.

Pick 3 for Frawley was an AFL disguise for the PP. Frawley is not worth pick 3, so Melbourne got one in my book.
So you guys weren't gifted the number 1 pick last year?yes, its a while off. just like its a while off for lots of teams. a good team is earnt and built, not gifted. unlike many other teams, lions have a promising future.
Really dont think Rocky is going anywhere.perhaps, and i suspect something similar might happen with Rockliff.

Or that was earnt?

A lot of people agree with that although I think the AFL was worried about the sanctions having the Blues effect.if you want to have a discussion about Ess, im more than happy to.
But for the record, ive said all along Essendon's first round pick should've gone straight to the end of the round. Not pick 1.
Unfortunately, i dont think his body has enabled him to. After the shoulder dislocation earlier in the year.I think you are right. I think you should've been playing him in the guts and letting him get his 40 touches per week and let someone else come in and offering him a contract that may have netted you round 1 compo.
I say AFL be more focused on moving the Suns up the ladder then the Lions.

No doubt...not sure what you mean by gifted though....It is acceptable by the AFL for Victorian teams to be gifted...example..take Mr Silvagni, who had the role of list manager at GWS before returning to Carlton as list manager in 2015, notably gifted with inside knowledge in recruiting nine former GWS players to Carlton in his three years there..so I think we might be entitled to apply for a PP...
of course you are entitled to apply for one. my argument is against the notion that you are entitled to one.
there is no point in bringing up the old examples of PP, the rules regarding handing them out have clearly changed.
I didn't......
I was referring to the opening post in this thread.
Do you want to see a grown man cry?This is sobering - AFL.com -The Brisbane Lions were ninth after winning in round one this season but have been 10th or below every other week bar one since 2010.
Every morning in the mirror.Do you want to see a grown man cry?
We really are virtually zero chance of getting a PP this year. I suppose we could ask but we won't get one.
Yes but that is just rhetoric, we are still last and for all intents and purposes were last in 2016. We have fixed many issues and for us to bounce back we need as much quality as we can get.I've come around to the view that even though we can/could mount an excellent case for one, we're just not going to get one.
So why bother asking.
Arguably it just damages the narrative we've been building that we are on the rise and will be a force to be reckoned with later, if not sooner.
Dude 90 percent of Lions posters in here appear to be against us applying for a pick. What's to gain from banging on about it with a couple of posters. Your point has been made several times over. Might be time to just let us Lions peeps have at it now.
We're a bit tired of opposition supporters telling us where we are at.
