321 players have nominated for next week's Mid-Season Draft, with the pool of hopefuls prospects littered with ex-AFL talent, state league standouts and overlooked draft names.
AFL.com.au has released the full list of nominations, with the deadline for players to lodge their name closing on Wednesday.
The list includes plenty of familiar faces, with former Tiger Riley Collier-Dawkins, former Hawk James Cousins, delisted Cat Quinton Narkle and ex Sydney pair James Bell and Ryley Stoddart among those that have nominated.
WAFL forward Jack Buller, Calder Cannons talent Rye Penny and Frankston-listed midfielder Mitch Szybkowski are also among the names of nominees.
Buller joins the likes of Gippsland forward Ryan Maric, Northern Bullants tall Brandon Ryan, Eastern Ranges ruckman Clay Tucker and Box Hill's Ethan Stanley in being among the most likely to land on an AFL list next week.
Nominees have the option to submit longer (18-month) or shorter (six-month) contracts to either hopefully secure a longer future or strengthen their chances of a selection.
The 2023 AFL Mid-Season Draft will be held remotely on Wednesday, May 31, with the order of the draft to be determined by the reverse ladder order from the clubs with open list spots.
AFL clubs can open list spots by moving players who have suffered long-term injuries to its inactive list, with a deadline for list lodgment set for next Tuesday.
