Gold Coast has been granted nine of the first 15 selections in the 2010 NAB AFL Draft, including the coveted first three picks.
Roos intimated that the absence of the No.1 draft pick as a 'reward' for poorly-performing teams would all but eliminate tanking, or at least the perception that it existed.
"I do think this year, for an obvious reason, the games are going to be a lot more competitive towards the end of this year than what they have been in the past four or five years," he said on Monday.
"That's exciting for the club and the code and football in general.
"There's no No.1 draft pick up for selection. We know who's getting that and I think that will reflect in the latter part of the season."
In previous seasons, teams out of finals contention have taken the opportunity to send struggling star players off for early surgery in a bid to ensure they could start pre-season training fully fit.
But with the 16th-placed side set to make its first selection at No.4 this year, Roos suggested teams in the bottom half of the ladder would enjoy greater rewards by finishing the season with a flurry of wins.
"It looks like it's going to be a really competitive finish to the season. West Coast had a good win on the weekend, Port have got a new coach and were really competitive early against the Bulldogs," he said.
"Every game going into the back end of the season is going to add some real excitement to the competition; Adelaide's [also] playing good footy again.
"I think there's going to be some really tough games and every team is going to have a hard run home."
