CARLTON great Chris Judd believes Brisbane’s on-field plight is so bad it must be given a priority pick.

The Lions have lost their past two matches by a combined 232 points, with Saturday night’s humiliating 138-point loss to Adelaide placing coach Justin Leppitsch’s job in jeopardy.

They’ve won only two games this season and their average losing margin is 61.1 points.

“They probably look like a team that deserves a concession pick at the end of the year,” Judd said on Channel 9.

“If you’re that far behind everyone else, you get a leg up. That’s how the AFL works.”

Brisbane, which has won just 13 of 63 games under Leppitsch, had a priority pick request rejected last year.

No club has been granted a priority pick since the AFL changed its priority draft system in 2012.

Carlton also asked for a priority pick last year and Melbourne was also denied in 2013 and 2014.

But Judd said there was a lot of problems at Brisbane and the club needed assistance.

“Name me a club that’s going to get a concession pick where there hasn’t been some level of incompetence?” he said.

“I don’t think it’s going to be a panacea that fixes everything but I think it’s going to assist and there’s certainly a myriad of other things that needs to happen as well. But I think that's one part of the puzzle.”
