The AFL has ditched their top-10 countdown for revealing clubs' national draft choices.

For the past three years, the first 10 draft picks in the league's biggest annual recruiting meeting have been conducted behind closed doors then revealed in reverse order.

But for the November 22 draft on the Gold Coast, picks will be announced in their correct sequence.

The countdown method was designed to add a sense of drama to the event.

But there was little suspense last year, given AFL newcomers Greater Western Sydney had eight of the first 10 picks, including the top five.

And the eventual No.1 pick, Jonathon Patton, had been widely forecast before the draft.

The Giants have the opening three picks in this year's draft, having been handed the top choice as wooden spooners this year and traded recruiting concessions for the next two selections.

They are expected to take Victorian midfielder Lachie Whitfield at No.1.
