Rd 20: Post Game Palaver: Carlton vs Essendon.

I suspect that's right.
If you come out and say you're "rebuilding your list" that's a choice you make...and we've done it very publicly.
We had to do it that way to keep the supporters on side.
But you cant say "we're stripping back our list to the bare bones...but give us a priority pick anyway."
It's our choice that we've taken this path.
That's the "out" for the AFL
It won't be rewarded in the short term.

Yes, 7 and 5 wins in consecutive years won't be getting us a PP.
