Nobody should be getting any extra picks for winning the bottom 8 finals comp

Yeah that's probably fair.

Though there isn't really much to play for in the 'consolation' finals though.

We can get trades done while the others focus finals

See how the Steins have helped you?  :P  :-X

Sticks and steins may break my bones, but you will never win the premiership

At last we have some banter. haha

1 in 8 chance vs 0!

It is not actually a bonus pick just moving their 2nd rd pick up the order dependent on who wins,

So whoever finishes last can't win anything then.

Depending on previous performances still get priority picks.  So Magic and Breakers will have a priority pick after First Rd picks. No team qualifies for earlier picks.

...which they would get regardless

Let's say we enforced this rule. The 'prize' would be pick 19 after priority picks are added. So let's say the Magic win. Without this rule, they already have pick 19. So with the rule, they get nothing. Of amy other team wins, Magic get a worse pick than they otherwise would.
Then look at a team like the Badgers. Probably should have finished top 8 but lost a few on HGA. We can move up like 6 or 7 places in the draft, and with hga for at least 2 finals, we would be hard to beat. Worst case we drop 1 place in the draft order. Basically heaps to gain and nothing to lose.

I could not be any more against this hahaha

I'd say you have as good a chance as i do

[Koop]

There is literally no point, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.

[nas]

There does not need to be any kind of reward for an extremely pointless bottom 8 finals comp.

On the other hand, people love the argument "lets be more like the AFL" so bringing in showerty rules like this would be very consistent with the AFL :P

Thank You all and basically this suggestion for improving the competition will be consigned to the circular filing cabinet beside my office desk.
However if any one has got any suggestions to improve please feel free to contribute.  I was going to suggest that badgers as the most improved team this year start with -4 points for next year.  ;D

Also unlike the AFL if the consensus of coaches is no we do not proceed,

i can certainly get behind this rule change :P

[GoLions]

I'll approve if i get to be the only admin allowed to rule on trades

[SilverLion]

Just wondering, do the players not currently on anyone's list get chucked into the draft, or is there another way they can get picked up?
