This week geelong has Miers (back pocket), Danger (wing), Hawkins (flank), Bews (full forward). Crows have Keath (ctr half forward).
Why are they taking the p155 with this? Just name it correctly.

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.

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

That only worked for so long, I can't believe how much they struggle retaining players, it should be the destination club for many young blokes, who wouldn't want to live on the Gold Coast in your early 20's?

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.

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

While Tasmania would perhaps be a better fit financially it doesn't ensure the side gets better on the ground.
18 clubs is two to many, the talent is spread too thin and the standard of footy today shows that. Although the Cats coach reckons the skills "are better than ever", lol, maybe at training!

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.
