Although no firm decision made been made, AFL general manager of football operations Adrian Anderson told The Australian that poor performing clubs could lose out to the new clubs in regard to priority selections.
"Perhaps we might even suspend the system for those two years, we are yet to resolve what we are going to do," Anderson said.
The AFL has already announced that Gold Coast team will receive nine of the first 15 draft picks in 2010, including the first three and will have the first selection in each round. As a result, the team that finishes last in 2009 will receive its first pick at number four.
Similar concessions will be given to the West Sydney team when they enter the competition.
Currently the priority pick system sees teams that win less than five games receive an extra selection before the second round, and teams that win less than eight matches over two years receive a pick before round one of the draft.
