MELBOURNE has completed a pick swap on Tuesday afternoon, securing selection No.27 in this year’s National Draft.

In a deal with Port Adelaide, the Demons parted ways with selections No.33, 43 and 53.

“We have today been involved in a pick swap that sees us improve our hand in this year’s draft,” Melbourne List Manager Tim Lamb told Melbourne Media.

“We have been able to do so by bundling three selections, including two that we did not intend to use at the National Draft this year.

“It has always been our philosophy to try and improve our draft hand every year and we’re pleased to be able to acquire selection No.27 through this trade.”
