NORTH Melbourne's capacity to trade up to land gun youngster Harley Reid could depend on the draft compensation for free agent Ben McKay after the Roos' surprise win over Gold Coast on Saturday.

The Roos broke a 20-game losing streak in the final round of the season, seeing them jump ahead of West Coast on the ladder and avoid their third straight wooden spoon.

It comes after the Eagles had shocked the Western Bulldogs the previous week to climb off the bottom of the ladder, a win that shook up the potential scenarios at the top of the draft.

Now the Eagles hold the whip hand in any trade discussions over Reid and the No.1 selection, with the Roos to wait on the free agency compensation they receive for McKay, who is expected to take up a rival offer.

AFL.com.au revealed last week Hawthorn had joined the race for the key defender alongside Sydney, Essendon and Port Adelaide.

North Melbourne has said it would be prepared to force a trade for McKay if band one compensation isn't triggered, with the Roos also holding Port Adelaide's first-round pick this year. Their current hand of picks is: No.2, 16, 39, 53, 59.

Greater Western Sydney had a double delight over the weekend, with Adam Kingsley's side breaking into the finals in his first year in charge and Richmond losing its final game of the season, seeing the Giants end up with pick No.6 at the draft with the selection tied to the Tigers.

The top 10 picks of the draft – and first 10 of every round – were locked in on Sunday night at the conclusion of the home and away season, however more change is tipped in a busy trade period.

As well as there being offers set to come for the No.1 pick, Gold Coast will trade its No.4 pick to get a better hand of selections to match bids on its batch of Academy guns.

Melbourne has finished with pick No.5 (tied to Fremantle) after its deal for Luke Jackson last trade period, while Geelong (No.7), Essendon (8), Adelaide (9) and the Western Bulldogs (10) round out the top 10.

The Bulldogs will be barracking for an early exit from the finals for Brisbane, with the Dogs holding the Lions' first-round pick after last year's Josh Dunkley deal.
