2022 Covid top-up players

[edit]

Due to the League wanting to ensure that matches are not cancelled or postponed during the ongoingCovid-19 pandemic, each club named twenty players to their Covid top-up player list. For Victorian based teams, all of these players played for theiraffiliated reserves team orjunior development academy, or for clubs outside of Victoria, the majority were sourced from the local second level leagues.^[1]

In round 2,West Coast became the first club to utilise the top-up player pool, when they had twelve players unable to play due to the AFL's health and safety protocols. Five players,Angus Dewar,Aaron Black,Stefan Giro,Declan Mountford andBrayden Ainsworth were chosen to play againstNorth Melbourne.^[2]
