ESSENDON and Port Adelaide will have seven of the 18 picks between them in Wednesday night’s AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
The final draft order was confirmed on Tuesday after clubs made further list changes, with eight clubs having at least one pick.
The injury-hit Bombers will have four picks available, while the Power will have three after they moved injured trio Todd Marshall, Tom Cochrane and Xavier Walsh to the inactive list.
North Melbourne, the Western Bulldogs, Gold Coast and Collingwood also have two picks each, while Carlton has one pick, the No.4 selection.
Adelaide, Brisbane, Fremantle, Geelong, Greater Western Sydney, Hawthorn, Melbourne, Richmond, St Kilda and Sydney do not have a pick.
Clubs get picks in the mid-season draft only if they have a list vacancy, which can be opened up by moving a long-term injured player to the inactive list.
Due to Essendon and Gold Coast having played one fewer game than every other club, a winning percentage ladder determines the draft order, with clubs on the same winning percentage to be separated by their regular for and against percentage.
