    Re: Eade calls for abolition of priority pick

    Seems a no brainer whether coaching staff are or are not tanking supporters will always think they are being cheated.Will prospective high draft picks start tanking when they know they might have to go interstate or clubs contact high player picks to fake an injury and guarantee that they will pick him up.Just how far can the system be manipulated

    I went to a round 22 game v Essendon wnting to lose.

    That was the first time I commented that PP were a disgrace.

    Actually I was but Woof wasn't created back then. Much like how I think that the new father son rule is good even though we are worse off for it.

    How, by it being increased from 50 games to 100 games? We missed out on Reid. Not to sure what you mean?

    The drafting side of things. No longer just a third round pick.

    the only way to soften the blow is to produce 2 father/sons in the same draft. Oh wait, it looks like we will be in 2010

    As did I.

    It was a weird day, Cooney showed some great signs, we were competitive, but we lost and ended up with a PP.

    I actually walked out happy which isn't the way it should be.

    Reid's younger brother is in the draft this year, as well.

    Murray Rance played 60 games, so we missed out on Alex Rance.

    We will miss out on Joe Groenewegen this year.

    I remember Steven Lawrence's dad had to play one game in the QAFL for his son to qualify as a father/son. At 55yo, it was rather bizarre to see him pull on a jumper. He sat on the interchange bench for the whole day.

    I decided not to go to the game. There was no way I was going to a game of football and barracking for Essendon.

    Are you sure about that? How about the round 22 game in 2005 where we needed them to beat Melbourne for us to make the 8?
    In actual fact I went to the game.

    Yes, I was barracking for them that day. But I didn't go to the game, and they certainly weren't playing the dogs.
