    Priority Picks

    There is some talk around the media that North are in line for consideration of receiving a priority pick.
    While I'm not against providing PP for teams that genuinely need it North did a fire sale of players to position themselves for free agency and then haven't been able to land good players. They shouldn't be rewarded for their strategic failures.

    Thoughts?

    No way Jose B.

    Ben Brown has kicked four for the premiers* tonight.

    There has to be consideration for clubs ability to control the situation.

    If it's out of their control, then maybe.

    I'm against it in principle because it's such a crap shoot.

    Melbourne were basically handed one with Frawley compo.

    The concept of priority picks is nuts. Such an equal comp with so many regulations around $ spent on anything, over and above the draft itself. Can’t be handing out priority picks any more.

    PP is just an excuse for bad list management. How many players did North delist. I think they went overboard too quickly.

    The other thing is when does the coach get questioned?

    Yes I would give them a priority pick. Number 79 in the draft. That is all they deserve.

    As BAD pointed out they planned for a fire sale of players which was a poor list management decision. They shouldn't be compensated for that.

    I'm not again PP but not when a club makes a decision to cull their list and get early picks as part of the rebuild and then get it wrong.
    Scott Clayton didn't get it right at Gold Coast and now it appears that he has got it wrong at North. He's had enough early picks.

    North need to wait this one out.

    Could be a long wait. If a tassie team comes in they’ll start raiding the draft and under age players no doubt.

    If they relocate to Tasmania they can have a priority pick. Larger catchment area for us.

    Of that 'fire sale', no club touched any of them with a 10 foot pole, save for Melbourne jumping on a Ben Brown trade after he demanded a bigger deal.

    I guess it shows their intent. I think even Goldy was on offer.
