Thought this was probably worth its own thread for discussion - the Age is reporting that there will be a mid-season rookie draft in 2019, and clubs will be able to sign players during pre-season to replace players who retire or are put on a long-term injury list during that period: https://www.theage.com.au/sport/afl...son-rookie-draft-in-2019-20181004-p507sq.html

A mid-season rookie draft will be introduced to the AFL in 2019 for players overlooked in drafts or previously on a club list who choose to renominate for the rookie draft.

A memo sent to clubs has informed them of the change, with the AFL also set to allow clubs to add a player to their list during the pre-season if they lose a player to a long-term injury or retirement.

Under that clause clubs will be able to add a player to the rookie list between December 1 and March 15 by placing a player on one of three inactive lists: a long-term injury list, a season-ending list or a retired player list.

The mid-season draft is set down for round 10 but subject to change depending on the fixture.
