PORT Adelaide's stunning extra-time after-the-siren loss to West Coast in their elimination final last Saturday has proven a draft bonus for the Brisbane Lions.
The Lions, who hold pick one at the 2017 NAB AFL Draft, now also get pick 12 - a selection received from the Power - after Port's demise in the first week of the finals.
With pick 18 also in hand, the Lions will have three selections in the top 20, as our indicative draft order shows.
The Giants have essentially been stripped of their first-round selection due to the penalties from the Lachie Whitfield affair last year.
The Giants were penalised 1000 'draft value points' for their part in the saga, which means their first pick (currently No.15 and worth 1112 points) will now be worth 112 points.
That would see the pick slide to the back end of the draft and fall at No.63, which is worth 112 points under the points index.
