    It's true and it gets to the heart of why the current FA process is broken.

    Why should we cop a 1 pick penalty because Lynch decides to go to Richmond?
    Our 1954 premiership players are our heroes, and it has to be said that Charlie was their hero.

    Stevo on 7News reported Carlton won't get a priority pick this year. Watch out for his twister ...

    Re: Priority Picks

    Reports, no clubs are getting priority picks.

    However speculation is that Carlton and Gold Coast will have priority access to 1 state league players each and not have to give up a draft pick.

    The stupid thing is apparently Carlton & GCS can then ontrade that player on draft night. Surely that can’t be an option.

    Carlton will on trade their pick to Adelaide as part of the deal for for McGovern as Adelaide want one of the local full forwards.

    Re: Priority Picks

    So apparently St Kilda will ask for a priority pick because they have had a lot of injuries! We should have asked for one in 2016 in that case.

    Unforeseen setbacks have Saints considering priority draft pick

    ST KILDA will consider approaching the AFL for a priority pick in this year's NAB AFL National Draft after a season ravaged by unforeseen player setbacks.

    While extra assistance has traditionally been made as a result of on-field performance, the new criteria - introduced in 2012 - also takes into account excessive injury rates.

    The Saints have this year been without first-choice trio Dylan Roberton (heart), Paddy McCartin (concussion) and Jack Steven (mental health) for much of the season.

    When asked about the prospect of approaching the AFL for a priority pick on Thursday, Saints head of football Simon Lethlean said it was a conversation worth having.

    "It's an interesting scenario, we've also got Billy Longer and Lewis Pierce (out through concussion)," Lethlean told SEN.

    "We've certainly got some unusual circumstances that don't relate to soft tissue and other injuries that could have a significant effect on our TPP (Total Player Payments) and our ability to manage our list as well as you could for reasons that are a bit out of our control.

    "We'll certainly have conversations internally with the AFL about how that looks for us going forward. I think that's a fair question to raise."

    When asked about the Saints' chances of landing a priority pick, AFL football operations manager Steve Hocking told SEN it was in the club's hands to make the first approach.

    New priority pick rules were founded in 2012, leaving the discretion at the hands of the AFL Commission.

    In that time, only Brisbane in 2016 has been awarded an additional pick. The Lions won a combined seven games during the 2015 and 2016 seasons.

    St Kilda won four matches in 2018, with six victories on the board this season with as many matches to go, and will enter 2020 with a new senior coach after parting ways with Alan Richardson on Tuesday.

    As revealed by AFL.com.au, Gold Coast is also set to request the No.1 pick in this year's national draft.

    Has anyone heard of anything so ridiculous as the article above. FFS, the reason you have 45 on the list is to cover your injuries. Too bad Saints.

    Re: Priority Picks

    But, but, but, Linda, listen, listen...

    Doesn't the fact they have so many injuries mean they have a number of AFL standard players sitting on the sidelines waiting to come into the team already? Maybe they need less draft picks and more decent medical staff?
    Have you been reading those Roddy Doyle books again, Dougal!?

    Yeah it's totally at odds with the idea of priority picks. Unless they lose the players permanently to injury in which case MAYBE you have a case

    Yep it's a bit silly. The sort of thing that gets said without fully engaging the brain first.

    I say give it to them - they'll just draft someone terrible anyway so it will help sort the wheat from the chaff on draft night.

    Maybe a new head of recruiting. You can't receive a PP because you pissed your picks up against a wall c'mon.
    But then again, I'm an Internet poster and Bevo is a premiership coach so draw your own conclusions.

    Re: Priority Picks

    well folks lets join the queue as well then.

    We won a Grand Final with about half a dozen good players with legitimate claims to be in the best 22 on the sidelines long term that year.

    Since then, we've lost Boyd, Picken and Clay Smith for similar unforseen circumstances. Throw in Redders, Biggs & that ruckman who lasted about 5 games in the ressies. It's absurd from St Kilda they are even contemplating this.

    They have had absolutely all the luck in the world with injuries the last few years. This is the first year and the cry poor. We’ve been up against it the last three years. Shouldn’t we have had 3 priority picks!? Saints need to be careful with the messages they are sending or they will become the next Melbourne/carlton

    Aren't they actually in danger of losing players permanently to illness/injury

    Roberton - Heart Complaint
    McCartin - Concussion

    They are also talking about concussion issues for Longer and Pierce.
