With the dust settling on a busy NAB AFL Trade Period across the league, the indicative order of the November 22-23 NAB AFL Draft has undergone some big changes.
And although player movement through trades ended last Wednesday, clubs can still trade picks right up until November 16, and then again on the day of the Draft, with live trading to be introduced for the first time in 2018.
The GIANTS entered the trade period with picks 14, 25, 47, 52, 70 and 88, but are now preparing for what is expected to be a talent-laden draft with three first-round picks (9, 11 and 19) to go with picks 25, 52 and 89.
Although live trading, together with father-son and academy bids, could see this order alter slightly, the GIANTS enter the Draft knowing they hold a strong hand.
