Australian Football League draft
The 2020 AFL draft consisted of the various periods where the 18 clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL) could trade and recruit players following the completion of the 2020 AFL season .
Due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic , the National, Pre-season and Rookie drafts were held as a "virtual event" on 9 and 10 December.[ 1]
Since 2015, clubs have been able to trade future picks in the next year's national draft during the trade period . As a result, a total of 40 selections for the 2020 draft were traded during the 2019 trade period . Further trades of future picks can be made before or during the 2019 national draft . The selection order for each of these picks is tied to the original club's finishing position in the 2020 season .

Pre-draft selections [ edit ]
As part of their 2019 draft concessions , Gold Coast were able to prelist players from their Academy zone .

Clubs were able to promote any player who was listed on their rookie list in 2020 to their 2021 primary playing list prior to the draft.
2021 pre-season draft [ edit ]
The 2021 pre-season draft was held on the afternoon of Thursday, 10 December 2020 prior to the commencement of the rookie draft.
