Prediction Will Carlton be 'awarded' with a priority pick this season?

[ferrisb]

Well, they used to be win/loses

Franklin, Roughead

Pedders, Thomas etc.

Scully, Trengove (not martin)

i think it was less than 4.5 wins and hence the tanking

i dont really know how they work now

Old rules. Don't apply any more.

It is now arbitrary and discretionary.

To be given out when teams REALLY need them. Not just for being rubbish for 1, 2 or even 3 seasons.

Be thankful, this is the rarest of the things...... The AFL using its common sense instead of creating an esoteric rule that has noble aims but is ineffective and is manipulated by teams.

Also, Marcel Proust:

Aside from traditional rivalry, is there a reason you are obsessed with Carlton?

I'm not really, im more obsessed with the joke that is the AFL / AFL admin / laughable way the game has been run for a long time now.

For example we have to speculate of what will happen with compo picks instead of a proper system or set of rules.

Give them a priority kick, round one.

To start the game.

We were probably heading for a handout, but winning those six games in the second half of this season would've put a stop to that i suppose.

I don't like PPs but I do feel sorry for the quagmire the Blues are stuck in.

If they promise not to do some lunatic trading like the Stocker business last year, I'd give them one.

Carlton did get handouts. All those top draft picks.
