THE AFL Commission has rejected a request from Melbourne to receive a priority pick at this year's national draft.
The AFL announced on Monday afternoon that no club would be granted special compensation at the 2013 draft, meaning the struggling Demons won't gain any extra compensation under the league's Special Assistance Rule.
Melbourne's first pick will be selection 2 - after Greater Western Sydney - with Paul Roos' men to then receive a second-round pick as normal.
The rival 17 clubs were in violent opposition to the prospect of Melbourne receiving a priority pick before or after the draft's first round.
When rejecting the Demons' request for an extra pick, the Commission had considered Melbourne's recent on-field performances, coaching, recruiting, administrative programs and the amount of young talent on the club's list.
The 2014 debut of dominant 17-year-old Jesse Hogan also likely counted against Melbourne.

Earlier this month The Herald Sun revealed that Melbourne had put in an official submission for a priority pick, believing it would help them swiftly turn about their on-field fortunes.
While Melbourne's pick was the most controversial topic to be discussed, the club's financial future was also in focus.
The AFL announced that it would grant the Demons a one-off payment of $1.45 million.
Of that $1.45m amount, $1 million is a grant and $450,000 is subject to the club raising an equal amount of money.
The club also has the ability to borrow an additional $500,000 on its facility, which the AFL has guaranteed.
Melbourne is also likely to declare a loss of $2 million or more this year.
