TalkingCarlton :: View topic - When's the AFL Commission meeting?....

If we had 2 picks last year we could have had McLaren AND Guerra. Why would we pass when these type of quality players are up for grabs?

Hypothetical - If Essendon* or some other team ends up last and we 2nd last. Surely we cannot be given a PP. The team ending up last would be screaming blue murder!!

No idea the AFL are a law unto themselves. Wouldnt it be great though!! How much fun could we have with their supporters!!

Our whole future rests on what the AFL will give us....

Gimme a break!!!... theyre embarassing!!!!

So forever and ever to a day StKilda supporters will always throw this back at our face .. just cos the board was not capable off their own bats.

Taking over the ground is one thing... charity is embarassing... We had the opportunity to do it like every other club... and we chose to win 10.. Now we have to beg for mercy....

according to the media (radio before Sunday's game) the club has asked for the number of wins to be averaged over 2 years. Apparently with the new system, only 2 PP's would have been given out over the past 10 or so years, and if it was averaged it would be only 4 (under last years system well above 10 have been given out, but I can't remember the exact figure).

What they didn't explain was if by PP they meant only before the first round or not (ie PP's as defined by the old system or the new).

One item on the agenda is whether or not to give Carlton a priority pick in both drafts (National & Preseason). The AFL is aware that the penalties have hurt Carlton more than they envisaged. The priority pick in the Preseason draft will be designed to get Carlton more competitive on the field next year by allowing Carlton to recruit two quality experienced players. There may be an independent committee created to analyse the list before a decision is made. I believe the rising popularity of soccer has forced the AFL to start thinking that a winning Carlton is great for the AFL and a losing Carlton is great for the world game.

Two PSD picks? Might end up using them on kids... or passing.

There is a board meeting tonight and a decision will be made whether or not we go to the AFL for assistance via the CBF or some other way as we dont qualify for the CBF as it is for clubs how have not as big of a following like thebigger clubs.

I thought I heard the AFL met at the weekend and would provide feedback in prepation for our board meeting tonight? Yes Malouf said that Carlton have not put forward a proposal for the lease of MC Hammer Park. This will be discussed at tonights board meeting also.
