Hard to see what states could sustain another side and be successful and financially viable.

I think they should get it but it wont help them long term. I see W Carey suggested giving them the pick and then forcing them to trade it for a star player, that sounds like making up rules as you go.
The only way for that club to have success is for them to have better player retention, perhaps they could draft/recruit with that in mind, i.e perhaps passing over a more talented player for someone percieved to be more loyal (risky though).
Realistically how will they ever be successful? Its not like the NBA where you can trade in 3 blokes and turn the side around completely.

The chatter last night was they look to be getting pick 1 and possibly pick 2 as a priority. Two of the best talents in the draft are very good mates and if they could get both it might help retain them. There was a school of thought last year that Brisbane getting Lincoln McCarthy helped them land Lachie Neale as they are very good Mates.

Weren’t Lukosius and Rankine mates?
Plenty of talk Lukosius will walk ASAP

I don't think the AFL should dish out priority picks in the first round. It compromises teams like the Crows who did that deal with Carlton last year knowing if they finish last they get pick 1. Completely unfair then the AFL decides to give pick 1 to the GC. You would be filthy & very hesitant to trade for future first round picks in the future.

Love Adelaide.

It's a problem the AFL won't admit they've got.

Surely you just cut your losses and give them the arse and focus on a Tassie team?

Actually think that’s the way to go, give them say an extra mil in cap allowance for 3 seasons.

Wasn’t that done for Ablett and he pissed off as soon as the money dried up?
