MELBOURNE will hold two picks inside the first 13 selections of the AFL Draft's first round after the Demons' early finals exit.
The Demons already had their No.5 pick (tied to Fremantle after the Luke Jackson trade) locked in but are now also cemented at pick 13 after their semi-final defeat to Carlton last Friday night.

The club also will hold picks 24 and 32 in the second round and have ruckman Brodie Grundy expected to request a trade to Sydney.
The Demons are one of a number of clubs seeking to trade for Gold Coast's pick No.4 with their hand of picks and points.
The Western Bulldogs have been viewed as the favourites for the Suns' pick given their hand of two first-rounders they can offer to Gold Coast, while Adelaide has also been among the other clubs interested in securing the selection.
Greater Western Sydney is the fourth club currently with two first-round picks ahead of the trade period, with the Giants holding Richmond's first-rounder (No.6 overall) and their own pick (currently No.15).
