The Draft will be conducted virtually within the ARC, powered by RMIT University to serve as the central hub, with confirmed clubs to submit draft selections to the AFL Football Operations team for submission.
The Brisbane Lions have one selection in Round one, pick 14.
The AFL can confirm that 18 Rookie list spots are currently available across all AFL Clubs. AFL Clubs have until 5:00pm AEST on Tuesday, June 1 to make any further changes to their list.
AFL Clubs that choose to participate in the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft will select in reverse ladder order set at the conclusion of Round 11.
Eligible players include:
A Player who nominated for the most recent NAB AFL National Draft.
Please note: A Player who nominated for and was not selected during the Draft and who committed for a further year as a 19-year-old Northern or NGA Academy Player is available to all Clubs should they nominate for the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
A Player who has previously been on the list of a Club (not required to nominate for the most recent Draft) refers to the following situations:
A Delisted Player
Please note: A Player delisted by a Club cannot be reselected in the NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft by the same Club in the period immediately following their delisting unless they nominated for the most recent Draft.
A Retired Player and/or a Player who has delisted himself and has not been on an AFL List for one year or more. For example, a player who retired in 2020 is not able to be selected in the 2021 NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
Players in their 18th year or younger are not eligible to be selected.
Any player who does not meet the above criteria can be nominated by a representative of the AFL Talent Pathway, their AFLPA accredited agent or the player themselves and be considered for an exemption.
