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.
Will Snelling - Essendon
Another South Australian product, Snelling was more than deserving of his recruitment after a number of impressive displays for West Adelaide.
Amassing massive disposal and tackle numbers, the Bombers didn't hesitate to pick up Snelling once their chances of picking up Michael Knoll evaporated. Snelling didn't take long to settle into the Bombers' VFL affiliate, continuing to rack up numbers and show no signs of rust in Melbourne.
The 22-year-old made his Dons debut against Adelaide and has managed to remain in the senior outfit for the last few weeks. His finest performance to date came on the weekend against former club Port Adelaide, with the midfielder scoring two goals and picking up 21 disposals in an impressive four quarter shift. He could be one for the future for Essendon.
Verdict - Staysย
