Would last with 4 wins or less earn us a priority pick this year? Perhaps something similar to what was given to the Lions in 2016, at the end of the first round.

The last thing this basket case of a club needs is a priority pick.
That’s the problem with this club, we think first round picks will solve the problem and lead us to ultimate success.

It’s not a given.

This club do not deserve hand outs.

A single PP won't make us competitive. We need 3 senior bodies around the ball at every contest.

We need everything we can get, Hawthorn had no problem taking handouts, Collingwood took handouts, GWS etc etc, nailing first round/early picks is what will solve the problem. We want as many as we can get.
If we don't deserve handouts then no one else did either.

We've had a ridiculous amount of top picks. Teach them to win.

When was the last time that happened?

Having had a night to sleep on it, I’ve decided the best thing for me is to go into ECO mode, at least until some sprouts return to growth.

But playing devils advocate, I think the non-negotiables we could identify for us to improve this year would’ve been
- Doch to continue his 2017 form and become the leader we need
- Cripps to receive that much needed support from our new midfield acquisitions
- Murphy to be unshackled by leadership responsibilities or tags
- Kreuz to be fit all year
- Blokes like O’Shea, Graham and Lamb to play exclusively in VFL
- Garlett and Pickett free to roam the F50
- Another year for our back 6 to create more chemistry
- Harry / Kerr to squeeze Casboult out to a backup KPF / ruck role
- Our new draftees (and 2nd year players) free to come into a settled side and able to develop without extra baggage

How many of the above have occurred?

After seeing the game last night sadly I cannot see us winning a game this year , the guys have no confidence in themselves or there team mates , it's very sad to watch, we are way to slow through the midfield, our forward entries are a disaster and our defence is under so much pressure it simply can't cope , I no we are missing senior players but we are a very long way off even looking like we are competitive , with our current situation I don't no how we are going to attract the players we need , sadly we are not and will not be a destination club for some time to come , at present we do not have a leader to say to the young guys , come with me and I will show you the way, but I will stay the course and keep the faith as I cannot and will not walk away but at the moment it is so so hard, Go Blues

Favouritism.
I got deleted for posting a grammar post two days ago.

So we're saying if we're so shit that if the AFL want to give us a PP we should refuse it?

By that logic we shouldn't accept pick 1 or whatever we end up with because of ladder position .

We'll take whatever's on offer because it doesn't make a difference. Any negative perception of accepting a PP wil be quickly forgotten if the kid can play.

Don’t we have to submit an offer for a PP, the AFL don’t just hand them out like they use to? All this talk that we don’t deserve one, the afl have rules that allow for a PP to be allocated to teams that have performed poorly over a period of time, regardless of the fact that it may have been self inflicted. So why don’t we deserve one? We’re not shit enough?
