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.
Jack Mayo - St Kilda
Mayo was brought in by the Saints as a forward prospect, brought in from Subiaco after a number of impressive performances in the WAFL. Mayo has made massive strides in the last 18 months, kicking 50 goals in the WAFL Colts and holding his own in the seniors for Subi. Upon drafting Mayo, the Saints described the 20-year-old as "a hard-running forward with clean hands, a long left foot kick and the ability to play at both ends."
While Mayo probably hasn't set the world on fire in the VFL based on his numbers, it is hard to read how the club values him internally.
