The AFL had their first mid-season draft this year since 1993. Some players were brought in for injury cover, while some could be ones to watch out for in the future.
Players selected in the mid-season draft will be contracted until the end of October, with clubs given the option to negotiate and extend their contract at any time.
We take a look at every player selected in the mid-season draft, how they have fared so far and whether they are likely to receive a contract extension into 2020.
Cody Hirst - Sydney
Rounding off the selections in this year's mid-season draft was Swans recruit Cody Hirst. Hirst was brought over from the Eastern Ranges in the NAB League, where the 19-year-old was averaging just under 24 disposals during the 2019 campaign. Swans Recruiting Manager Simon Dalrymple was impressed with Hirst's running capacity and skills within the midfield.
"His running is at a really good level and so is his agility. We think that as a small forward or on the wing he's got some really good qualities," Dalrymple said.
Hirst has averaged just over 10 disposals in his first eight games in the NEAFL and hasn't really set the world on fire.
Verdict - Departs
