The AFL has confirmed the final draft order for tonight’s AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.

The Bulldogs will have two picks, following the announcement that Cody Weightman would be placed on the inactive list.

Clubs get picks in the mid-season draft only if they have a list vacancy, which can be opened up by moving a long-term injured player to the inactive list.

Due to Essendon and Gold Coast having played one fewer game than every other club, a winning percentage ladder determines the draft order, with clubs on the same winning percentage to be separated by their regular for and against percentage.

The only place to watch the 2025 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft is on AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App from 6:30pm AEST on Wednesday, May 28
