Melbourne is considering at least two big draft plays, while another club looms as a wildcard.

Plus the Giants offer a window into their selection plans.

DEES CONSIDERING BIG TRADE PLAYS

Melbourne reportedly offered two future first-rounders to Gold Coast, Essendon and North Melbourne in a bid to get into the top five of this year’s draft order.

The Dees’ current first pick is No.13, but the club has two future-first round selections, the second of which was received from Fremantle as part of a trade for Luke Jackson.

AFL Media’s Cal Twomey reported on Tuesday the Demons had been “really aggressive” in trying to get inside the top-end of the draft.

“They put a package of picks together including their two future first-round picks and also another pick selection within that to try and get Gold Coast’s pick five, Essendon’s pick four or North Melbourne’s pick three.

“Those clubs are holding firm and wanting to stay at that part of the draft at this point.”

Additionally, The Age reports the Dees are also considering trading out a future first-round pick in order to snare pick No.19 - the first pick of the draft’s second night.

Pick No.19 is a valuable selection given the two-night draft format, with the order of selections on night one potentially shaking up the order and offering clubs an opportunity to pounce on a draft slider.

Melbourne, North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs are the three clubs holding two future first-round selections.

Trading of picks is now not allowed until the draft commences on November 28.

The Age also reports several recruiters believe none of the top-10 selections will be traded.

Still, there could be a move within the top-10, with Essendon considering trading its pick No.4 to move slightly down the order but acquire a future selection.

The Bombers are keenly eyeing South Australian Mattaes Phillipou, who looms as something of a wildcard in this year’s draft given where he could be taken.

GIANTS CLOSING IN ON CADMAN

Greater Western Sydney coach Adam Kingsley has said key forward Aaron Cadman is “certainly in the mix” to be taken with pick one.

The Giants completed a trade with North Melbourne this off-season that saw them receive the top selection in the draft.

It gives the Giants three picks in the opening round of the draft and the sought-after first pick of the second round.

Kingsley said Cadman, who captained Victoria Country in this year’s national championships, was firmly in the mix.

“He’s a very good player, we love the way he plays, but there are a number of players at the top end who we still need to work our way through and discuss the best fit for out footy club,” he said.

“I’ll certainly be fully aware of the options we have for that pick and all the picks we have.”

“We’ve got a great draft hand and we need to turn it into really good players.”
