2022 AFL draft

2022 AFL draft

The 2022 AFL draft consisted of the various periods where the 18 clubs in the Australian Football League (AFL) could trade and recruit players during and following the completion of the 2022 AFL season.

2022 COVID-19 top-up players

2022 AFL draft

Due to the league wanting to ensure that matches were not cancelled or postponed during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, each club named twenty players to a COVID-19 top-up player list. For Victorian based teams, all of these players played for their affiliated reserves teams or junior development academies; for clubs outside of Victoria, the majority were sourced from the local second-level leagues.

West Coast was the only club to utilise the top-up player pool, on two occasions when Western Australia's health and safety protocols – which were more stringent than in other states – saw multiple senior players unavailable. Six total players were used by West Coast as top-ups: Angus Dewar, Aaron Black, Stefan Giro, Declan Mountford, Brayden Ainsworth, and Jake Florenca.
