MELBOURNE’S draft order has altered following the first round of the 2018 AFL Draft at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night.

The Demons now hold picks 26, 31, 49, 56, 83 and 90, after activity on the first night of the two-day event shifted their initial selections. 

The move comes following three Academy bids from North Melbourne (Pick 8, Tarryn Thomas), Sydney (Pick 10, Nick Blakey) and Collingwood (Pick 13, Isaac Quaynor) which have pushed Melbourne's first pick from 23 to 26.

Melbourne's current picks could still change position, with further Father-Son and Academy bids likely to occur. 

Melbourne chose not to partake in the newly-introduced live trading during the first round, meaning all the red and blue action will take place on Friday.

The second day will commence at 12pm AEDT, with rounds two, three and four of the AFL Draft to be followed by the Pre-Season and Rookie Draft.
