The GIANTS have completed a trade that has secured the club the number one pick from North Melbourne in the upcoming NAB AFL Draft.
The GIANTS now have the first pick of the best available underage talent heading into season 2023 after parting with picks three, 12 and a future second-round pick (tied to Collingwood) in exchange for the top selection as well as picks 53 and 57.
The club also has picks 15, 18 and 19 in the top 20 of this year’s Draft, to be held in late November, with further trades set to be completed before the end of the Continental Tyres Trade Period on Wednesday.
GIANTS General Manager of Football Jason McCartney said:
“This is an exciting day for GIANTS fans, and we’re thrilled to secure the first pick in the upcoming Draft.
“Given the strength of our draft hands across both this year and next, it was a no-brainer for us to make a play to have access to choose the best available talent at this year’s Draft.
“We’re looking forward to adding to our strong core of players under new coach Adam Kingsley to return to the continued success we’ve had in the past.”
The GIANTS currently hold picks 1, 15, 18, 19, 53, 57, 61 and 63.
The AFL Trade Period runs until 7:30pm on Wednesday, October 12.
