Adelaide Crows will keep all their picks in this year's draft after the AFL agreed to delay its hearing into claims of salary cap cheating.
A new hearing date is yet to be set but the league advised on Friday that next Thursday's national draft "will go ahead as normal".

The Crows, expected to be stripped of picks as a penalty for illegal payments to forward Kurt Tippett, have selections 20, 54 and 64 in this year's draft.
The club, Tippett and officials Steven Trigg, John Reid and Phil Harper face a total of 11 charges relating to an alleged secret agreement with Tippett when he signed a new contract in 2009.

The deal allegedly involved third-party payments of up to $300,000, unapproved third-party deals with Crows sponsors including Balfours Pies, and a promise to trade Tippett to a club of his choice for a second-round draft pick when the three-year contract expired.
The deal ran out this year and Tippett shocked the club by asking to be traded to Sydney Swans. The Crows stalled on the Swans' offer of a late first-round draft pick and fringe forward Jesse White, plunging the club into crisis.
The latest charges were laid on Thursday and the club and Harper requested more time to prepare their defence.
The Crows, football manager Harper, chief executive Trigg and former football operations manager Reid will all be represented separately at the commission hearing.
"The AFL has today advised the Club and Mr Harper, as well as Mr Trigg, Mr Reid and Adelaide Crows-listed player Kurt Tippett, that the Commission will provide the requested extra time, and that the hearing will not proceed on Monday as previously scheduled, to ensure that natural justice is provided," the league said in a statement.
"A new hearing date is yet to be set, but will be advised to all parties, the media and the wider football public as soon as it is determined.
"The 2012 NAB AFL draft will proceed as scheduled next week, Thursday November 22. The AFL has no further comment to make at this time."
