The 2019 AFL season has presented a number of big new stories that have shaken the game to its core.

In a rough order, these 10 stories are up there as the biggest so far this season. Can you think of any others?

7. Mid-season and pre-Season supplemental draft

The introduction of the mid-season and pre-season supplemental draft can arguably be deemed as a success.

The pre-season supplemental draft allows teams to draft previously-listed footballers who spent a season or more out of the game as a Category A rookie.

This means that players such as Shane Mumford, Jonathon Marsh and Zac Clarke have been able to find AFL homes, despite being out of the game for a considerable time.

The mid-season draft was also brought in to limit the impact of long-term injuries and premature retirements at AFL clubs.

It allows teams to replenish their lists and give players that have been overlooked a chance.

As a result, 13 players were picked up by sides in their bid to make it at AFL level.

Of those chosen, only one Ryan Gardner, Bulldogs) has actually played a game.

These two new player movements have helped increase the possibility of those wanting to play AFL and should be labelled as a 'good news' story.
