THE DRAFTING and wheeling and dealing are complete for another year.

That means each team's NAB AFL Draft picks are also locked in until at least the Trade Period – and fans now know which rival clubs they should cheer against in season 2020.

DRAFT TRACKER Every pick, every player

Geelong has the biggest investment in next year's first round with three picks, followed by Adelaide, Brisbane and North Melbourne.

On the flipside, Greater Western Sydney, Melbourne, Port Adelaide and West Coast do not have even one as it stands.

 

Demons national recruiting manager Jason Taylor predicted on Thursday night that about 30 per cent of the top 30 picks in 2020 will be "compromised" by Academy, father-son and priority selections.

Seventeen out of the 48 footballers who played in the under-17s NAB AFL All Stars game in September have ties to AFL clubs and are eligible to be drafted next year.

TWOMEY Will the 2020 draft be the most compromised in history? 

On top of that, one of the Cats' trio of picks is Gold Coast's mid-first round concession selection, after the Suns offloaded it to draft West Australian Jeremy Sharp at No.27 this week. 

 

What that means is early picks effectively won't be as valuable as usual for some teams, because they will be pushed back if the relevant clubs match bids for their Academy and father-son players.

The Crows are right in the thick of it, with four selections inside the first two rounds and another pair in the third round at this stage.

They are also set to benefit from the compromised nature of the draft, with priority access to 2020 prospects James Borlase (Next Generation Academy) and Luke Edwards (son of Tyson).

Geelong (four) and Gold Coast and North Melbourne (both three) also have strong draft hands in the first two rounds.

YOUR CLUB'S FIRST-ROUND DRAFT PICKS

This was the inaugural draft where a new AFL rule – announced back in 2015 – impacted upon clubs' involvement.

Each team must pick at least twice in the first round in a rolling four-year period preceding the upcoming draft, so for the 2019 edition it included what happened between 2015 and '18.

Geelong was the only side that had to make at least one first-round selection this year, while Hawthorn and Essendon are in the same position for 2020.

WHO SMASHED IT? Our experts give their draft verdicts

That means they will be restricted in what they can do at the trade table and would only be able to trade a first-round selection if they have acquired another one.

Melbourne traded in an extra first-round pick and selected twice in that bracket this week – after last doing so in 2015 – to avoid joining the Hawks and Bombers in that scenario.

Melbourne drafted Kozzy Pickett (left) and Luke Jackson (right) in the first round this year. Picture: AFL photos

However, the same set of rules, outlined in the Determination for the trading of future draft selections document, has other ramifications.

Clubs cannot, for example, trade future first- and third-round picks, but can swap, say, future second- and third-round choices.

Hawthorn provided an ideal case study for how this works. 

The Hawks were keen to trade in an extra first-round selection for the 2019 draft, and prepared for that possibility by trading in a future second-round pick to cover for the one they parted with earlier.

^ Carlton used an end-of-first-round compensation pick in 2015, Sydney received Brisbane's end-of-first-round priority pick in 2016, Brisbane used an end-of-first-round free agency compensation pick in 2017, and Gold Coast received Geelong's end-of-first-round free agency compensation pick in 2017 and West Coast's in 2018. None count as a first-round pick for these purposes.
