How to explore this draft hand
With a first selection at 4, Melbourne can start its planning near the front of the pool. Compare keeping that early access with splitting the pick into multiple selections. The useful test is the whole player haul, rather than points alone.
The two-selection total is a useful first check for an early bid, but not a guarantee of matching eligibility. Selections already used, the bid’s live position, ladder adjustments and list places all matter.
Build a player shortlist
Explore the prospect directory by role and projected range. This profile collection is selective; the absence of a linked prospect here does not establish that the club has no eligible father-son or academy players.
Check the list before prioritising a role
Open the List Analyzer to compare established players, depth and developing options. Separate an immediate vacancy from a longer-term need, then test both approaches in a mock draft.
