2016 AFL draft

The 2016 AFL draft consists of the various periods where the 18 clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL) can trade and recruit players following the completion of the 2016 AFL season. Additions to each club's playing list are not allowed at any other time during the year.

The 2015 AFL draft included a new initiative whereby clubs could trade future picks; through this scheme, thirteen picks in the 2016 draft have already been traded:

2 Adelaide Greater Western Sydney[4]
2 Fremantle Gold Coast[5]

2 St Kilda Brisbane Lions[7]
3 Brisbane Lions Geelong[8]
3 North Melbourne Brisbane Lions[7]
3 Western Bulldogs Carlton[5]
4 Sydney Western Bulldogs[9]

The 2016 draft is predicted to include an "elite crop of midfielders".[11]
