Full list of 2024 AFL Mid-Season Draft nominees released: Who makes the cut and who are leading candidates?
The full list of nominees for the 2024 AFL Mid-Season Draft has been released. According to Zero Hanger, a total of 342 players, including over 50 former AFL-listed names have made the draft list.
Ahead of the draft scheduled for Wednesday, May 29, the league body published the complete list of nominees made up of delisted AFL players and highly rated talents from various state football leagues.
Players eligible to be nominated for the AFL Mid-Season Draft must either have been on the AFL list previously, be nominated for the rookie draft, or have been nominated for the 2023 national draft. Players who retired from the AFL in 2013 could also be nominated but at the discretion of the league body.
Some notable ex-AFL-listed players on the list include former Brisbane Lions midfielder Rhys Mathieson, 2016 premiership winner with the Western Bulldogs Toby McLean, and Dan McKenzie, who was delisted by St Kilda last year.
However, the spotlight will be on youngsters like Jacob Blight (Peel Thunder), Geordie Payne (North Launceston Football Club), Jasper Scaife (West Perth), and Will McLachlan (Geelong Falcons), who will be vying for a spot in one of the AFL clubs.
Other leading candidates are Milan Murdock (East Fremantle), Jack Hutchinson (Collingwood), and Jeo Pike (Geelong Falcons).

Which team has the No. 1 pick in the 2024 AFL Mid-Season Draft?
As per the format of the AFL Mid-Season Draft, clubs with an open spot on their list will be ranked for the draft based on their position on the league table in a reversed manner.
Apparently, North Melbourne has the No.1 pick for the upcoming draft. The Kangaroos are winless in 2024, occupying the bottom position on the standings. They have two open spots on their roster and could make up to two selections on the night.
The Richmond Tigers, West Coast Eagles, and St Kilda are behind North Melbourne on the queue. The AFL Mid-Season Draft gives clubs a chance to strengthen their team ahead of the second half of the home-and-away season.
