FOLLOWING the final round of the home and away season, the 2017 draft order has been partially locked in leading into the 2017 AFL finals series.
The Brisbane Lions currently hold the No.1 pick after finishing 18th – with Victorian midfielders Adam Cerra, Luke Davies-Uniacke, Paddy Dow and Cameron Rayner the four most likely contenders for the first selection.
BRISBANE searches for inside fix
Due to the penalties from the Lachie Whitfield affair last year, the Giants have been penalised 1000 ‘draft value points’, which means that their first pick (currently worth 1112 points) will slide back to the end of the draft and fall at No.63 (worth 112 points).
