Essendon has Pick 4 (for finishing 15th) and Pick 5 (after a 2024 pick swap with Melbourne).<\/p>\n<p>                    Oscar Allen leads West Coast out against Fremantle in round three, 2025. Picture: AFL Photos<\/p>\n<p>But the Eagles are widely expected to be given Band One compensation for losing Allen to the Lions, while the Bombers are expected to get either Band One or Band Two for losing Draper to Brisbane.<\/p>\n<p>Should both compensation picks be Band One, it would see the Eagles hold picks 1 and 2, the Tigers picks 3 and 4 and the Bombers picks 5, 6 and 7.<\/p>\n<p>See below for the full indicative draft order ahead of the start of the player movement period.<\/p>\n<p>The free agency period opens on Friday and runs until October 10, while the Continental Tyres AFL
