AFL
Draft selections
Explanations:
- Compensation picks are selections in addition to the normal order of selection, allocated to clubs by the AFL as compensation for losing uncontracted players to the new expansion clubs, Gold Coast and Greater Western Sydney. The picks can be held for up to five years and clubs declare at the beginning of the season of their intent to utilise the pick at the end of the season. Picks could be traded to other clubs in return for players or other draft selections.
- Free agency compensation picks are additional selections awarded to teams based on their net loss of players during the free agency trade period.
- Promoted rookies are players who are transferred from a club's rookie list to their primary list.
- Local talent selections are local zone selections available to the new expansion clubs.
Note: The numbering of the draft picks in the notes is based on the original order at the time of the trade. The number of the pick may have changed due to the allocation of Free Agency compensation picks or clubs not using later picks.
