A TOTAL of 429 players have nominated for Tuesday night's Telstra AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft, with up to 19 players set to be drafted.
Among the list of names is likely No.1 pick Jaxon Artemis from Tasmania, while Geelong VFL player Kye Annand and North Melbourne VFL midfielder Xavier Bamert have also attracted strong interest.
West Adelaide ruck Caleb May has also had strong interest from multiple clubs, as has Sandringham Dragons forward Oliver Griffin and and Nic Staropoli from the Calder Cannons.
There are several players with AFL experience on the list, including former Telstra AFL Rising Star winner Jaidyn Stephenson, former Geelong ruck Nathan Kreuger and ex-Swan James Bell.
Artemis, Annand and Bamert are among the players who have nominated on an 18-month contract, meaning they would sign until the end of 2027 if they are drafted.
Essendon will take have the No.1 pick, while Collingwood, Port Adelaide and Melbourne can take up to three players each.
The only place to watch the 2026 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft is on AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App, or on the AFL's official YouTube channel, from 6.30pm AEST on Tuesday night.
