So Melbourne have officially asked for a priority pick.
Surely this should be knocked back, but I have a bad feeling it will be approved.
Ha! was just abot to post about this. Melbourne shouldnt be rewarded for being crap. simple as that.

If they lose Frawley they could get another pick. Imagine this:
Melbourne with picks: 2,3 and 4…
That would just make us go further down the order lol…
Worked well for them before
If they get a priority pick, it's not guaranteed to be a first round pick. AFL has complete discretion on whether to allow one, and what pick it is.
I don't think they should get one. The only exceptional circumstance is arguably Mitch Clark retiring for mental health reasons, but even then that should have freed up a fair bit of salary.
Whatever's wrong with Melbourne won't be fixed by a highly rated 18 year old.
What a ■■■■■■■ joke. All other clubs have to suffer at the detriment of Melbourne's incompetence. No other club has been given the concessions like Melbourne have. They're on the verge of rivalling that of the concessions the two start up clubs received. I bet they'll get given overs too when Frawley leaves.
So they get dank to inject their players and they get an extra pick. ■■■■ me do you beleive this ■■■■. Didn’t they get done for tanking for picks now there getting extra one for being ■■■■
Poor kid.

That's not entirely fair, carlton got more priority picks than Melbourne.
Fark carlton
Fark it. Give it to them.
They’ll fark it up again.
Development is their problem. Not lack of draft picks.
Melbourne need an AFL player op shop
Well they beat us so if they are in such dire need of priority selections we should get them too.
Admittedly with Roosey, they might get them right.

Roosey has made them so much better this year. Wait a minute....
They'll need another nine more.
Losers
Give it to them who cares they're irrelevant.
According to Vossy a few years ago they were going to be the next 'Super power' and the rest of the comp had to watch out.
What magnificent insight this astute football judge brought us all. It's almost as if the Dees saw those comments and deliberately sabotaged themselves for the last however many years since he made them, just to show him how farking dumb he really is just for a laugh.
But seriously, we've been bad for the last ten years but nothing compares to how this basket case has been operating in the same time. No doubt that the Australian Manipulation League will bend over backwards to approve this latest stunt so as to show how much of a caring and benevolent organisation they really are, particularly to their steeped in tradition and founding Melbourne clubs. Hopefully they're realising now that perhaps bringing in two new plastic clubs within two years of one another wasn't such a bright idea after all. Well not at least until they fixed up some of the five or six severely struggling ones first. Not a good look for the game maybe?
This is just as much, if not more, the AFL's mess as it is MFC's and guess who it may affect the most.
They can bash their priority pick up their arses ,they've had plenty of chances with them before.
They should be farken ashamed of themselves for asking!
Admittedly with Roosey, they might get them right.
yep roosy, along with salary cap concessions, draft and free agency assistance, countless other backroom deals o ensure they remain eternally successful thereby justifying the national competition at the expense of poorer clubs, got the swans right.
now melbourne have roosy. and what melbournes got.
roosy.
