Cooper Harvey is expected to be a 2nd rounder this year, so he will slot into that pick.


What pick?


They'll get given it as a priority from the AFL to reward incompetency

Middle of first round at best I’d think.
Very highly doubt they will get pick 2.
Might get some extra access to mature age players aswell which is strange considering they flicked several of their own mature age players

Apart from Gold Coast there hasn't been a 1st round Priority pick since 2009, highly doubt we will get anything other than #19 onwards.

They 100% don't deserve a PP as it was all their own doing but give them one on the proviso they must trade it.

Matt Rowell in 2019 was a priority pick.

What exactly did Carlton do to deserve their start of first round priority pick? Hawthorn? Melbourne? St Kilda? Western Bulldogs? Richmond? Collingwood? I'll leave Gold Coast out because they are a made up team and needed a leg up.

Where did the NMFC touch you all to warrant such attention for a small, most would say, insignificant club?

They still might avoid the spoon for starters. Does the conversation around a PP change if they do?

Depends on what the hidden equation at AFL House says I guess.

Whilst by no means is it over the line, my optimism on Clarkson coming back to Arden Street is higher than this time last week…

Looks like the Duck has re-opened some old wounds with Stevens on the weekend... "a dust up" of some sorts.
