After a massive build-up, the 2017 NAB AFL Draft is finally here.

For the first time in nearly two decades, St Kilda holds two picks inside the first 10 selections, as well a late second-round pick and a pick midway through the third-round.

Where?

Sydney Showgrounds at 7pm on Friday, 24 November

What picks?

St Kilda will use four picks on Friday night – No. 7, No. 8, No. 34 and No. 45

Who?

With such an even first round, it’s anyone’s guess who will be available at No. 7 and No. 8.

Phantom drafts have suggested that the Saints might select Dandenong Stingrays pair Hunter Clark and Aiden Bonar, Northern Knights half-back Nick Coffield or Eastern Ranges midfielder Jaidyn Stephenson.
