With the league's Mid-Season Draft set to take place on Wednesday this week, a portion of the 602-players that nominated their services are set to have their lives change forever.

For the budding youngsters that missed out on selection at last year's national talent market, it will offer them a chance to make their dreams come true - albeit a tad later than some of their peers.

For the wily veterans that have thrown their hats back into the ring, it will mean one last chance to lace the boots and keep their flames shielded from the wind for at least another six-months.

Despite the fact that not every side will enter the draft with a pick available, we have run a fine toothed comb through all 18-lists, and have made recommendations of talent for fans of every creed and clubs of every colour.

Here are the players every club should be considering on Wednesday night.

Melbourne

Number of selections available โ€“ Two
Draft position โ€“ 18th

Despite sitting pretty on top of the ladder, Melbourne will have one thing on their mind when they are first asked to make a selection on Wednesday night - depth.

Whether this in in the forward line with the addition of the AFL ready Tyson Stengle or down back to replace the injured Adam Tomlinson, only Simon Goodwin and his recruitment team know.

If the Demons are willing to take a punt on Stengle -ย  a player that was told he was unwelcome at Wests Lakes earlier this year due to a spate of off-field incidents - then they can expect to add more flare and another scoring option inside 50.

The former Tiger and Crow has hit the scoreboard on 11 occasions for SANFL outfit Woodville-West Torrens - including this peach against Adelaide's reserves.
