Extra Pick.

[borderbarry]

If the AFL go ahead with the idea of an extra pick for the clubs that have not been in the finals for a while, starting with Pick 19 for Melbourne, we would end up with Pick 22. Come on, do it!

We just know the AFL will introduce this after the 2017 season, right??

Apparently they want to do it for this next draft, but you are probably right.

i think its a fair system and they are all about equalisation. but the big question remains for me is can these picks be traded because i feel the academy clubs will just be able to further exploit the loopholes in the current system.

I reckon the bottom 4-6 teams (maybe going by some combination of the last time they were in the finals/won a premiership, etc) should get two picks before the rest get a pick.

Example - Say 4 sides are pronounced no good this year
Pick- Club
1-18
2-17
3-16
4-15
5-18
6-17
7-16
8-15
and then revert back to normal
9-14
10-13
11-12
12-11
13-10
etc...

i think everyone should get their first round pick

then have a round 2A where the bottom 10 get a pick

then have normal round 2 from there on

so last would get 1, 19, 29

4th last would get 4, 22, 32

9th would get 10, 28, 38

premiers would get 18, miss out on 2A, 46

Freo shouldnt get an xtra pick. Neither should the bummers.

Shouldn't be any PP ever again

Do the NFL or NBA have them?

No but they don't have academies for certain teams only or father and son, etc.

Essendon and Freo wouldn't get any earlier picks if the previous finals criteria is applied (especially freo).
