The Magpies originally had selections No. 18, No. 19 and No. 21, but with the Crows withdrawing their first selection (No. 20), the Pies will climb one rung up the order thus resulting in three consecutive selections.
It is the first time Collingwood has been in possession of three selections inside the top 20 of a National Draft since it recruited Josh Fraser (No. 1), Danny Roach (No. 7) and Rhyce Shaw (No. 18) in 1999.
As a result, Collingwood's other draft selections have shifted up the order. The club now holds picks No. 38 (instead of No. 39) and No. 80 (instead of No. 82).
