ROUND 24 will not only determine the finalists at the end of perhaps footy's most even season ever. It will also lock in some important draft selections.

While the identity of the bottom-four teams on the ladder are locked in, the race for the No.1 selection is not quite over yet. Richmond is currently in last spot and in possession of the top pick, but the Tigers are just four points and 2.7 per cent behind North Melbourne.

A win for Adem Yze's side over Gold Coast on Saturday afternoon and a loss for the Kangaroos against Hawthorn later in the day, and a combined margin of around 75 points from the two results, should see the Tigers move to 17th spot and the Roos end up with the No.1 pick.

The Roos famously handed the No.1 pick - and Harley Reid - to West Coast in the final round of last season by beating the Suns to jump to 17th spot.

West Coast (16th) and Adelaide (15th) are locked in to their final finishing positions, but plenty of other picks will be only confirmed after the home and away season has finished.

The uncertainty doesn't only apply to the top 10 spots in the opening round of the draft, with 30 selections inside the first four rounds tied to other clubs' finishing positions.

Fremantle remains with the strongest draft hand, having three first-round picks (one tied to Collingwood, another tied to Port Adelaide and its own), with Gold Coast also having three top-20 selections, including their own currently being placed at No.5.

Sydney holds two top-20 picks courtesy of the North Melbourne assistance package selection the Swans grabbed in last year's trade period.
