Brisbane need one so that us BF tragics can pump up the post count in our draft thread. Very quiet this year after being the most popular thread for years.

We got ours back in 2016.

We don’t need one.

 

[Turbocat]

No one should get Priority Pick.. the draft needs to be modified

I raise you a Lawrence Angwin, John Meeson and James Sellar trifecta

 

[Freomaniac]

YIKES!

Yep.each of them were either duds, injury prone, had off field problem's or mixture of two of them. Most likely injury prone duds

 

[Flags_In_The_Bag]

It's not the injuries, its the consequences we're facing of the injuries.

Roberton - Heart issues for the past two seasons, gone.

McCartin - Concussions, gone.

Longer - Concussions, unsure.

Pierce - Concussion, Unsure.

Steven - Mental health, unsure.

It's obviously clear that its not confirmed if these guys will return or not but you're removing a #1, AA quality defender, clubs best midfielder from an inexperienced line up.

I'd like a priority pick, purely for list management purposes not on ladder or wins/loss or form.

It can be end of of first or second.

Yeah your side needs a priority pick, but the clubs come out saying you expect to make finals next year. Umm yeah

 

[Lore]

Because Walla, Fantasia, Draper and Hurley are all leaving

*obligatory mention of drugz, pick 1, rising stars, n00b coaches, being booted out of finals, winning our first spoon in eons*

I think you’ve missed the concept of the thread. Everyone is trying to find the silliest reasons for their club to have a priority pick...

Indeed. But please see Lore's post #35

 

[The acurate one]

1. WE lost the best player in the comp - Brownlow Medallist Patrick Dangerfield
2. Kurt Tippett - Lost 2 x 1st and 2 x 2nd rd draft picks
3. Had Steven Trigg as CEO, then allowed him to take his 6m off while he was suspended, held his position and then reappointed him only for him to leave a few months later
4. We were penalised for Melbourne (not) tanking by having Dean Bailey (senior assistant) suspended for 6 months
5. Dean Bailey passed away
6. Phil Walsh passed away
7. Gold Coast camp and Collective Mind(less)
8. We have Brett Burton as the head of footy
9. We can't get rid of Scott Camporeale regardless of how many open coaching jobs are out there
10. We had 10 hamstring injuries last year - thanks Brett
11. We had to play an away grand final even though we finished the year on top of the ladder
12. Jake Lever left
13. Charlie Cameron left
14. Mitch McGovern left
15. Did I mention Dangerfield left?
16. We are the only club to have 2 players taken by GC and GWS startups (Bock and Davis)
17. We didn't get Bryce Gibbs under the F/S rule even though his Dad played 350 games for one our allocated clubs
18. We haven't won a flag for more than 20 years
19. Phil Champan has been our president since we won a flag
20. WE HAVE NEVER HAD A TOP 5 PICK - EVER

yeah kind of feel your pain , but then I recall the 98 GF and the 6.15 we had at half time and our final score of 8.22, you've still got another 30 years of misery for winning that GF

Yeah duh, i understand that but its been created because of the Saints thinking about asking for one. just wanted to write how stupid that is.
but in the spirit of it all, the bulldogs because they haven't tasted success since 2016

 

[DanA]

Anybody that has watched Geelong in September the last 8 years knows we deserve a priority pick.

 

[BF Tiger]

Because Tom Lynch is ruining the Tigers.

 

[Handsuper47]

We don't need one, because we are good enough to contend without one.
