'Several clubs need pick, not just Dees'

Priority pick ... do Melbourne deserve another early draft pick? Source: DAVID CROSLING / AAP

After another disastrous season for Melbourne, debate is raging over whether they deserve another priority draft pick.

Melbourne deserve a priority pick.

The club asked for a priority pick at a meeting with the AFL earlier this month as they continue to struggle, with just one win in the opening 13 rounds.

Some argue the Demons' plight is exactly what the priority pick system is in place for, while others say that handing them yet another high draft pick is rewarding mediocrity.

AFL 360 co-host Mark Robinson said after years of compromised drafts, the Demons weren't the only team that deserved a priority pick.

"I think that's fair. I think it is drastically important that we even up the competition and I actually believe that several clubs need one," he said.

"If we're going to give it to one club, give it to others.

"I don't want to see the same four clubs at the bottom of the table every year. We want competition, Gerard."

Robinson co-host Gerard Whateley disagreed saying Melbourne had plenty of talent on their books and hadn't struggled for long enough to deserve the extra help.

"Specific to Melbourne, I'm in the unfair category," he said.

We know what's there ... I think they'll get better regardless, they'll develop the top end talent they have and they have a lot of it.

Get in and develop them and if you're as hopeless as that again next year, I have no problem giving them a draft pick."

Vote in the ME Bank Fair or Unfair poll and tune in to FOX FOOTY's AFL 360 on Tuesday night to listen to Gerard and Robbo debate this week's topic.
