Draft order: Every pick of the 2026 mid-season draft

The mid-season draft has arrived, with 12 AFL sides preparing to top up their lists with the best talents outside of the top flight.

Essendon is set to lead the charge, with Richmond and West Coast rounding out the top three.

All of Port Adelaide, Collingwood and Melbourne enter the draft with three selections to fill three vacant list spots, while the Eagles also have the option to select two players.

Carlton, North Melbourne, St Kilda, Western Bulldogs, Adelaide and Hawthorn all enter with a single pick, while Brisbane, Gold Coast, Geelong, Sydney, GWS and Fremantle enter tonight without a pick due to having a full list.

Tasmania's star young talent Jaxon Artemis is expected to be taken with the first overall pick, with the Bombers' loss to Richmond handing them the rights to the opening selection.

The draft kicks off tonight at 6:30pm AEST on AFL.com.au.
