The conclusion of the home and away season means the opening 10 AFL Draft selections for this year's count are locked in.

While the trade period can be utilised to cash in these selections for attainable targets, most clubs won't be looking to part ways with their opening picks - especially given the strength of this year's pool of prospects.

Richmond has locked in the opening selection of November's intake after taking out the wooden spoon, while Fremantle will round out the opening 10 picks with successive selections, having acquired Collingwood's opening pick.

Each club will have their list of draft targets they hope slip to their early selections, and with the parity in the top echelon of this year's class, it's set to be a fascinating start to this year's National Draft.

We've looked at the settled top 10 picks in this year's draft order and matched up one prospect to each selection.

2. Pick 2: North Melbourne

Luke Trainor

Position: Key Defender
Height: 194cm
State: Victoria
Club: Old Brighton Grammarians

The Roos could decide to split their early selection, with Trainor perhaps the most suitable for North Melbourne while potentially being available a few spots back on the draft board.

Trainor is perhaps the only non-midfielder among the top echelon of teenagers this year, with the son of 100-goal great Doug Wade often among the best performers in stints with the Sandringham Dragons, Vic Metro and the AFL Academy.

The athletic interceptor is a clean ball user for a player of his height and has proven to be a viable option in the forward half of the field if needed.
