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.

Lachlan Hosie - North Melbourne

Recruited from Glenelg, Hosie was recruited to Arden Street as another option for North Melbourne to have up forward. The 22-year-old was leading the goal kicking in the SANFL, producing 21 goals from eight games before the Shinboners decided to hand him a chance in the big league.

The forward has kicked another 14 goals in his first eight games in the VFL for the Roos as he continues to hone his craft in the North forward line.

Being relatively young, expect North to give Hosie another shot in the AFL industry in 2020. Thanks to Rhyce Shaw and the resurgence he has put into the North outfit, it's probably stalled the chances that Hosie would have hoped would be available to him in the latter part of the season.

Verdict - Stays
