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.

Tobie Travaglia
Position: Defender-Midfielder

State: Victoria
Club: Sandhurst
With two picks in a row, the Dockers will have plenty to consider to round out the opening 10 selections of the draft.
After claiming the best and fairest at the Bendigo Pioneers last year ahead of No.1 pick Harley Reid, dashing flanker Tobie Travalgia could be the first of three first-round picks for Fremantle this November.
The Vic Country star has steadily built his case as a top 10 prospect this year and was a constant among his side's best at the U18s National Championships, averaging 21.8 disposals and 6.3 marks in a successful carnival at half-back and in midfield.
The Bendigo teenager would offer some dash, speed and flair on the outside of the Dockers' workhorse engine room or could allow the likes of Jordan Clark or Heath Chapman to shift further up the field.
Others to consider:ย Sam Lalor, Xavier Lindsay, Murphy Reid
