prolonged periods of poor performance, so the priority draft pick was introduced in the <a href="/wiki/1993_AFL_Draft" class="mw-redirect" title="1993 AFL Draft">Draft of that year</a> to further assist these teams. </p><p>In its original version: </p> <ul><li>Teams received a priority draft pick if they finished with less than 20.5 premiership points (five wins) for the season.</li> <li>The entire priority round took place prior to the first round of the National Draft.</li> <li>Where more than one team participated in the same round of priority picks, selections were made in reverse ladder position order, as is the case for normal selection rounds.</li></ul> <p>It became clear, however, that a team with reasonable prospects could finish with five wins and receive a roster boosting priority draft pick as a result of an isolated poor season due to key players suffering injuries, internal dissent and/or other off-field trouble. </p><p>This situation was both unfair and counterproductive to the <i><a href="https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/raison_d%27%C3%AAtre" class="extiw" title="wikt:raison d'être">raison d'être</a></i> of the priority pick, which was to assist

could be automatically awarded based on the performance of the club over the past two seasons with a defined cut-off point (16.5 premiership points or four wins). </p><p>In the 2012 pre-season, the AFL Commission, with the unanimous support of the 18 clubs, removed all provision for priority picks automatically based upon finishing results, with the Commission retaining the power to award priority picks on a discretionary basis.<sup id="cite_ref-2012_changes_1-2" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-2012_changes-1"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>1<span

speculation that poorly performing teams manipulated their results after they were eliminated from finals contention in order to ensure they remained below the eligibility criterion and received a

Another sign cited as evidence of tanking is the practice of fans openly supporting their clubs' opponents on game day;<sup id="cite_ref-07GL_13-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-07GL-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> however, this can also be justified as a sign of fan dissatisfaction at the club's poor performance and/or its administration. </p><p>Also complicating the debate is the fact that different people have different opinions on what is acceptable behaviour.

title="2007 AFL season">Round 22, 2007</a> match between <a href="/wiki/Melbourne_Football_Club" title="Melbourne Football Club">Melbourne</a> and <a href="/wiki/Carlton_Football_Club" title="Carlton Football Club">Carlton</a>, nicknamed the <b>Kreuzer Cup</b>, was the most controversial match in the tanking debate. It was the last match of the regular season, and both Melbourne and Carlton had a record of 4–17, meaning that whichever team won the match would lose the chance at a priority draft pick, and both clubs had already avoided the ignominy of the <a href="/wiki/Wooden_spoon_(award)" title="Wooden spoon (award)">wooden spoon</a>, as <a href="/wiki/Richmond_Football_Club" title="Richmond Football Club">Richmond</a> had secured it with a final record of 3–18–1. Overall, this meant that there was no benefit for either club to win, but a significant benefit to losing. </p><p>The stakes were particularly high in Carlton's case, because the club had also received a priority pick in the 2006 season; as such, if it lost this match, it would receive the No. 1 draft pick as its priority pick. In Melbourne's case, the priority pick it could have received would be the No. 18 pick; the No. 1 pick would go to wooden spooners Richmond if Melbourne lost the match. The match became known as the Kreuzer Cup, named after <a href="/wiki/Northern_Knights_Football_Club" title="Northern Knights Football Club">Northern Knights</a>' ruckman <a href="/wiki/Matthew_Kreuzer" title="Matthew Kreuzer">Matthew Kreuzer</a>, who had been expected to be (and was eventually, by Carlton) selected with the No. 1 pick in the <a href="/wiki/2007_AFL_Draft" class="mw-redirect" title="2007 AFL Draft">2007 AFL Draft</a>. </p><p>The match was high scoring, played with low intensity, poor skills and very little defensive pressure, and two players (Carlton's <a href="/wiki/Heath_Scotland" title="Heath Scotland">Heath Scotland</a> and Melbourne's <a href="/wiki/Travis_Johnstone" title="Travis Johnstone">Travis Johnstone</a>) gathered more than 40 disposals. Melbourne had a five-goal lead by quarter time, and ended up winning the match 21.13 (139) to 15.18 (108). Carlton went on to recruit Kreuzer with the No. 1 pick in the draft.<sup id="cite_ref-20" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-20"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>20<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <dl><dt>Round 18, 2009 – Melbourne vs Richmond</dt></dl> <p>Melbourne entered the match with a record of 3–14. Because it had received a priority draft pick in 2008, it had the potential to receive a priority draft pick at the start of the draft if won no more than one of its final five matches. </p><p>The match was close for much of the game, but Melbourne kicked away to lead by a few goals in the final quarter. Richmond was then able to make a comeback, and an <a href="/wiki/After-the-siren_kicks_in_Australian_rules_football" class="mw-redirect" title="After-the-siren kicks in Australian rules football">after-the-siren goal</a> by <a href="/wiki/Jordan_McMahon" title="Jordan McMahon">Jordan McMahon</a> gave Richmond a four-point win. The <i><a href="/wiki/Herald_Sun" title="Herald Sun">Herald Sun</a></i> later accused Melbourne coach Dean Bailey of making positional changes in the final quarter which were so nonsensical that they could only have been designed to ensure Richmond would make a comeback: this included moving key defenders <a href="/wiki/James_Frawley_(footballer)" title="James Frawley (footballer)">James Frawley</a> and <a href="/wiki/Matthew_Warnock" title="Matthew Warnock">Matthew Warnock</a> into the forward-line, resting key midfielders, and using <a href="/wiki/Brad_Miller_(footballer)" title="Brad Miller (footballer)">Brad Miller</a> as a ruckman.<sup id="cite_ref-21" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-21"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>21<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p><p>In late 2012 and early 2013, Melbourne was thoroughly investigated for its conduct in this and other games which occurred in late 2009. The club was found not guilty of tanking,<sup id="cite_ref-Cooper_19-1" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-Cooper-19"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>19<span
