Maybe I'm a bit cynical, but I envisage changes after this season to they way the AFL allocates priority picks to clubs after 2 consecutive poor seasons.

Currently, a team that fails to win more than 4 games receives a priority pick after the first round of the National Draft.

If a club fails to win more than 4 games in 2 consecutive years, then they would receive a priority pick before the first round of the National Draft.

Now, here's where my cynicism kicks in. If a team qualifies for a priority pick next year, after receiving one this year, will the AFL allow a situation to arise where a team then gets a pick before GC17?

Just have a feeling that the AFL will make changes at the end of this season, which will be just so convenient to GC17.

Obviously, what I'm speculating is just pure guess work on my part.
