Pies come out trumps after reshuffle

COLLINGWOOD is among the big winners in the reshuffle and now commands picks 18, 19 and 20 after Adelaide surrendered its first two picks _ No.20 and 54 _ in tonight's national draft.

Richmond has four picks inside the first 42, while Greater Western Sydney has five selections inside the top 27.

But the Crows could yet be banned from participating in the first two rounds of the 2013 and 2014 national drafts, depending on the outcome of an AFL Commission hearing next Friday.

Besieged Crows chief executive Steven Trigg was a no-show at yesterday's league chief executive's conference on the Gold Coast, a further sign of his perilous position in the game.

Crows chairman Rob Chapman said the decision to surrender the first two picks was about seeking the best overall outcome for the club.

``We are in ongoing discussions with the AFL,'' Chapman said in a statement.

``This gesture forms part of those discussions and is made in good faith.''

Adelaide is already committed to using selection 95 to re-draft mature-age rookie Ian Callinan, meaning it will select just two new players for next season at picks 62 and 81.

The Crows, Trigg, football manager Phil Harper, former football operations manager John Reid and Tippett face 11 charges of engaging in conduct prejudicial to the draft and conduct in breach of the salary cap.
