FIRST round draft picks were pushed back to three spots in Friday’s free agency frenzy, but clubs will now attack the first day of the Continental Tires AFL Trade Period on Monday with a greater degree of certainty about the picks they have to play with.

The free agency moves of Josh Battle, Harry Perryman and Isaac Cumming on Friday, and the AFL’s compensation calls, have seen most clubs’ top picks pushed back at least one spot in the order ahead of November’s Telstra AFL Draft .

The top seven picks in the draft – belong to Richmond, North Melbourne, West Coast, Adelaide, Melbourne, Gold Coast And Saint Kilda – were unharmed by Friday’s action.

But with St Kilda’s compensation for Battle coming in at pick 8, the picks after that belong Essendon, Fremantle (two), Carlton, Gold Coast, Hawthorn And Greater Western Sydney they all went back one spot.

The Perryman compensation pick landed at pick 16, meaning the four picks after it – belong to Geelong, Fremantle, Sydney And Brisbane – all dropped two places.

The end of the first round picks belonging to Sydney And Gold Coast (which they received from North Melbourne last year) have ended up at picks 22 and 23 respectively, after starting last week at spots 19 and 20, while the Cumming compensation pick came for them at number 21.

Further free agency compensation is not expected to impact first-round draft picks this year, as Jack Graham’s expected move to the West Coast is unlikely to attract Band 1 or 2 compensation from the AFL.

However, as reported in Insider information from AFL.com.au On Friday, clubs are also aware that their first-round picks could be pushed back four more spots on draft night. Bids for Levi Ashcroft (Brisbane father-son), Leo Lombard (Gold Coast Academy), Isaac Kako (Essendon Next Generation Academy) and Sam Marshall (Brisbane Academy) are all tipped to get into the first round, which clubs know this would increase their expectations. continues to expand.

For example, it would mean that the Gold Coast pick it received from North last year, which was originally pick 20, could rise to pick 27 if bids for Ashcroft, Lombard, Kako and Marshall come for it on draft night.

The 2024 trading period officially starts on Monday morning and runs until deadline day on Wednesday, October 16.
