The AFL has released a list of the draft order after the conclusion of the 2017 home and away season.
Collingwood will have the sixth pick in November's National Draft, after the top 10 picks were locked in with the conclusion of the home and away season.
Barring trade, the Magpies will have a top ten pick for the first time since Jordan De Goey (pick five) and Darcy Moore (pick nine) were selected in 2015. The Brisbane Lions will have the No.1 pick after finishing last on the AFL ladder in 2017.
Cam Rayner, Adam Cerra, Luke Davies-Uniacke and Paddy Dow are the four midfielders vying to be the first overall pick at November's national draft.
The Lions' cross-town rivals Gold Coast closed the year with the No.2 pick, while Carlton has another early selection with the third choice.
North Melbourne's win over the Lions on Saturday saw the Roos rise to 15th on the ladder where they will have the fourth selection – their earliest pick at a draft since 2006.
St Kilda hold perhaps the strongest hand with picks No.7 (Hawthorn's on-traded pick from last year) and No.8 (their own).
The last time they took two top-10 picks to the draft was 16 years ago when they picked Luke Balland Xavier Clarkewith choices inside the first five.
If there is any silver lining to Melbourne's drop out of the finals race, it is that the Demons will attain pick 10 at the draft.
The Tigers' excellent season will be boosted by having two picks in the first-round, but the Giants have essentially been stripped of their first-round selection due to the penalties from the Lachie Whitfield affair last year.
The Giants were penalised 1000 'draft value points' for their part in the saga, which means their first pick (currently No.15 and worth 1112 points) will now be worth 112 points.
That would see the pick slide to the back end of the draft and fall at No.63, which is worth 112 points under the points index.
