The first mid-season draft since1993 was held after Round 10 of the2019 AFL season on 27 May.[2][3] The draft was only open to clubs with inactive players on their list and vacancies available, such as long-term injuries or retirements. Players recruited during the mid-season draft earned a contract for the remainder of the season, though had the option of negotiating terms for an extension at any period throughout the season.[3]
Since 2015, clubs have been able to trade future picks in the next year's national draft during thetrade period. As a result, a total of 34 selections for the 2019 draft were traded during the2018 trade period, including (for the first time) at the2018 National Draft, where 14 picks were traded. The selection order for each of these picks is tied to the original club's finishing position in the2019 season.[4]
