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.
Kyle Dunkley - Melbourne
Brother of Bulldog Josh, young Kyle Dunkley made headlines this season when he came up against the Bulldogs in his second senior game.
The 19-year-old had been plying his trade for Footscray in the VFL, before the Demons put their faith in him and gave him a chance on their list. It didn't take him long to give
Dees fans a glimpse into his potential, recording 21 possessions, six clearances, five tackles and three goals in just his second game for the club's VFL affiliate.
He's slowly making strides in the seniors too, with the youngster picking up 12 touches and scoring two goals against the Tigers over the weekend - showing his ability to win the ball in midfield and drift forward.
Like Riordan, Dunkley looks set to be an investment for the future, and we could be seeing him feature more prominently for the Demons in years to come.
Verdict - Stays
