AFL Draft 2024: Every nomination so far ahead of November 20-21 draft

Many future AFL stars and some former players have already nominated for next month’s AFL draft, with the deadline to enter November 13. Check out all the nominations so far.

How will the top 5 picks play out?

More than 500 players have already nominated for next month’s AFL national draft, including many likely top-10 picks.

An early nominations list was sent to clubs this week and contains the names of 504 players.

Sam Lalor – a leading contender to join Richmond as the No. 1 pick – is on the list, as is Brisbane Lions father-son prospect Levi Aschcroft and fellow top-five fancy Jagga Smith.

Top South Australian prospect Sid Draper has also got his nomination in, as have highly-rated Victorian hopes Harvey Langford, Harry Armstrong and Alix Tauru.

Essendon Next Generation Academy member Isaac Kako – who has said he wants to bring a bit of Hawthorn flair to the Bombers – is also on the list.

Recently delisted AFL players Curtis Taylor (North Melbourne), Kaine Baldwin (Essendon) and Mitchell Hardie (Geelong) have also put their hands up for another crack at the top level.

Taylor said earlier this month that he would keep himself “fit and motivated” after being left “shocked” by his delisting at the Kangaroos, while Hardie said recently that there had been “a little” interest shown in him by clubs after he finished fourth in the VFL’s J.J Liston Trophy with the Cats.

More players will be added to the list over coming weeks, with nominations not set to close until November 13.

The national draft is being held across two nights on November 20 and 21.
