Both clubs have had poor management and deserve to be where they are today.
So nah.
!
Do they have a priority pick in US sports or other professional leagues?
I don't think we should have it at all. Every team finds themselves down at the bottom of the ladder over time. Carlton should not have a PP at all. One year they finish in the bottom two and they want a priority pick.
Free agency done right should be the way to go. If you buggered up your cap, then your stuffed, but if you manage it well then you dont need AFL handout.
Get rid of it, losers attitude.
Compensation, COLA, PP need to go with less restrictions on free agency and trading periods.
Ok so ALL compensation goes...for all clubs in your viewpoint.
Ok, so your answer is to get rid of all AFL gifts so that would mean immediately as of the end of this year:
1) North Melbourne receives no financial compensation, gifts etc from the AFL
2) North Melbourne does not get to play games in Tasmania and loses all financial benefits resulting from those matches
3) Hawthorn returns to the AFL all the money they have received from financial compensation for the "sacrifice" of playing at the MCG
4) Hawthorn no longer plays exclusive games in Launceston and loses the Tasmanian sponsorship
5) Port Adelaide - no financial assistance from the AFL
6) Western Bulldogs - no financial assistance from the AFL
7) Melbourne - return the 2.5 million (very approximately) that they got when found guilty of tanking but instead the AFL paid for their new coaching set up.

Melbourne - returns the first round draft pick this year that they got last year as a result of "compensation" for Frawley.
etc etc.
9) Brisbane will get NO assistance what so ever at the end of this year from the AFL. etc etc
ok...I see where you are coming from now. A complete level playing field.
To quote a man I despise "Pigs' arse" this will get through. The AFL have the hand on the tiller of the whole competition - including the welfare of Carlton.
