Gold Coast will have its first No.1 selection since 2010 if its form line doesn't improve by the end of the year. 

The Suns dropped to the bottom of the ladder after round 15 and will be favourites to finish there, given their fadeaway in form after a bright start to the year.

Despite their lowly finishes on the ladder throughout their history, the Suns have not held a No.1 choice since their inception, when they selected current co-captain David Swallow.

It is one of their two first-round picks, with the Suns also holding Brisbane's first pick at this year's NAB AFL Draft (currently pick 15). 

The club's chairman, Tony Cochrane, this week told AFL.com.au the club would also lobby the AFL to get special access to the No.1 pick as a priority pick due to their woes, which would see them hold the first and second picks overall if the wish was granted. 

As shown in AFL.com.au's indicative draft order, there are five clubs who hold rivals' selections in the first round, including Adelaide, who have the No.2 pick in the draft after their trade with Carlton during last year's draft. 

Hawthorn looks headed for its earliest draft pick since 2006, with the Hawks currently holding pick No.6 with seven rounds of the home and away season remaining.
