Are we any chance for a priority pick?
Seriously?
Our last two seasons have been deplorable and it's only going to get worse.
Surely an extra pick at the end of the first round is warranted.

Not a hope based on the Dees and even under the old rule we would miss out.

Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
The Dees had access to priority picks (Scully and Trengrove) not that long ago...
What's the old rule? Wasn't it something like less than ten wins in two seasons? Well...we're not even going to be close.

No chance. Not yet. We have to be down the bottom for another two years for it to happen. The bright side is, we are that terrible ATM, that it may come sooner rather than later!
I started with nothing and I've got most of it left!

Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
I am seriously worried that financially the club wont be able to withstand another lengthy down period?
SAINTS another day older another day closer to the Holy Grail!

Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
We must be a big chance now/ % of 50. W are miles off the pace.
As predicted by many of us on here despite the false optimism in the first month.
If we get pick 1, 19, 20 (priority) and 25 (Montangna) id be happy with that. That picks in top 25.
We then should pay overs for someone for pick 1 in the psd.
Thats 5 new players.
Then we make Armo Skipper and we go again.

Roo will be skipper and we are no hope of a priorty pick Con. Even under the old rules we wouldnt get one so under these harsh rules we are no hope.

They changed the wording to 'extreme' circumstances or something? It is in the discretion of the AFL isnt it?
50% is fairly extreme imo.

Tassie our only chance to survive...thanks Lyon for your pathetic selfish development/recruitment.
Not only do we have little talent but have now quickly developed a losing/drop off culture. Will take years to turn around

Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
17 losses in a row with a sub 50% and they will have to take a serious look at a priority !!!

Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
Eagles got one in 2010.
Its now at the Commisson's discretion.
With our shocking % we are a serious chance.
That Freo game in R22 last year really was a false sense of security as it was against a 3rd string side who werent trying. Take that out and our last two years have been shocking.

Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
Yeah they did but after the tanking issue, and 17 clubs voting that they didn't receive another, that was it for them.plugger66 wrote:ShanghaiSaint wrote:we bloody better be considering how many Melb received.Life Long Saint wrote:Seriously?

Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
No such thing anymore.
Flying the World in comfort thanks to FF Points....
Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
It comes down to AFL discretion, apparently, and since that rule change we haven't seen a team get a priority selection. IIRC the clubs voted on Port possibly getting one a few years back and of course the other 17 clubs voted unanimously NO. Thanks to the Dees the priority pick is effectively no more.saintsRrising wrote:No such thing anymore.

Re: Are we any chance for a priority pick?
The rule change was only in 2012 and since then Melb and GWS have been on the bottom and Melb got a pp in 2009 and then got in trouble for tanking and GWS already got a million DPs - so I reackon the Saints area big chance to get one?Old Mate wrote:It comes down to AFL discretion, apparently, and since that rule change we haven't seen a team get a priority selection.

Do we deserve one? Not really because we bought this on our self for our s*** recruiting 2007-11.
But nonetheless I reckon we might get on at the start of the 2nd round. No way we wll get pick 1 and 2.
Im thinking we might get pick 19 & 20.

What sort of bulls*** rule is that? Typical of Demetriou's time in the AFL.Con Gorozidis wrote:Its now at the Commisson's discretion.
Melbourne's been down too long. We'd better buy them a coach. The AFL needs a strong Sydney Swans. We'd better make sure they thrive. etc, etc, etc.
Policy on the run and gross manipulation of what used to be a sporting competition.
I don't like it even if it works in our favour. You'd feel like some sort of a charity case.
