Patrick Smith Blasts Carlton

[MilkIt]

I just don't think you can go from a finalist (albeit because of another club's penalty) to being "priority pick worthy" in two seasons.

That's not what priority picks are built for

Rules can be changed and new ones can be made for individual clubs. Look what they did to the Swans with their trade ban. It doesn't have to be called a "Priority Pick", it can be called "Compensation for James Frawley" or "Equalisation for Free Agents and Academy players going to the top clubs".

I don't want us to rely on this but we need something to undo all the damage that has been done. So I would like to see us apply to the AFL for a "Hughes & Rogers sympathy pick".
