Surely if the AFL want to give them (another) leg up then a priority pick should be after their first pick in the draft? So, #3.
I think they now have four picks in the top 30, watch them trade them for another sack of potatoes like Walker, Bell or Bastinac.
Also wonder if the club wasn't basically run by the AFL would they have got a priority pick?
Melbourne had far worse seasons than Brisbane and didn't get a PP
Interesting to see which clubs have had priority picks & who they picked
