Essendon will take two picks into Wednesday night's NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft.
The Dons will look to continue their recent success in the first two mid-season drafts, having selected Will Snelling (2019) and Sam Durham (2021) with both making an immediate impact in their short time at the NEC Hangar.
AFL clubs had until 2pm AEST Tuesday to lodge their list vacancies with the AFL, with eight clubs managing to open up a second available roster spot.
West Coast, North Melbourne, Essendon and Adelaide, who will hold the draft's first four picks, have all opened up a second list availability while Hawthorn, Collingwood, Carlton and Fremantle will also take two selections into Wednesday night.
Only three clubs – the Western Bulldogs, Brisbane and Melbourne – won't take a selection into the mid-season draft.
Essendon opened up a second list position late on Tuesday due to a long-term injury sustained by youngster Nik Cox.
Clubs are not obliged to use their vacant list spots, meaning there could still be fewer than 23 picks made. There were 13 picks used when the mid-season draft first returned in 2019, and 22 selections made last year.
