That was pre season. I thought we were talking priorty picks.

I'm sure the priority pick system was much later.

2006 was when the Priority Selection was born

It was at least 2000 because we got Kosi.

1994...
Fremantle had pick 1 (Due to coming into the comp) -
Sydney had pick 2 (Priority Round) and Pick 3 for finishing 16th.

I think the priority picks may have been a lottery between teems eligible back then,

In 1995...
Fremantle and West Coast each received one for being new teams...Fitzroy for being crap.

Pick 1 - Fremantle,

Pick 2 - Fitzroy,

Pick 3 - West Coast,

End of priority round.

Pick 4 - Fitzroy

The First Player ever selected in the National Draft as a Priority Selection was Travis Johnstone Pick 1 PS 1997 by Melbourne

It appears to me we are the first tem to truely get the priorty pick because of only winning a certain number of games that being less than 5 in 2000.

If that is the case why didnt they also get selection 2 as no other side won less than 5 games that year.

Very cunning of us to tank, and tank so well.

Probably helped by the move to the Docklands, many new players and new coach.

i dont know the answer to that plug1. all i know is that TJ was the first PS in the ND.

Yes you are 100% correct and i am 100% incorrect. They traded pick 2. It was 5 wins or less back then. Collingwood and Freo got it the year after and then us. Brisbane didnt tank in 1998 as they won 5 and a half games.

there's no right or wrong when it comes to tanking there's just confusion.

That is technically right but we really got Kosi and Freo really got Pav.

You got that right.

We got priority picks in the 2000 draft by being outstandingly crap...weren't you there?

Exactly.

We didnt NEED to tank cause we were s***, seriously a team comprised of 22 members of this forum would have beaten the 2000 Saints......comfortably me thinks
