It should revert to 20 or 24 points per year, none of this combined tally crap. That's a fair qualification system, it reflects the eveness of the competition and a consistently poor performing club/list.

Basically, Collingwood have screwed it for everyone with their resting players/tanking strategy last year. How contrived do their five wins last year seem now? Good thing for the competition they got that extra pick - thier list clearly needed it

I agree John M.

They played in two GFs and got thumped by the Lions, they tank for two years because Eddie and the boys realise that they cannot compete against the interstate clubs and their enlarged cap

If you take Collingwood's success over the past four years, there is no way they deserve the picks that they got.

should be as is except under 10 wins across two years (and no more than 6 in any 1 season) for the real PP.

No he was on the phone for about 5 mins. Couldn't even be bothered coming in to the studio & left Steve Wilson to do the show.
