Previous trades

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 34 selections for the 2019 draft were traded during the 2018 trade period, including (for the first time) at the 2018 National Draft, where 14 picks were traded. The selection order for each of these picks is tied to the original club's finishing position in the 2019 season. ^[4]

• The first pick of the first round of the 2019 National Draft (pick #1).
• The first pick of the second round of the 2019 National Draft (pick #22, since traded to Carlton, then on-traded to Port Adelaide and then Brisbane Lions).
• A mid-first round pick in the 2020 AFL draft (pick #11, since traded to Geelong at the 2019 National Draft, then on-traded to GWS).
• The first pick of the second round of the 2021 AFL draft (pick #19, since traded to Fremantle).
• Darwin was added to its Academy zone
• The ability to be able to pre-list Academy players.
• An expanded Category A rookie list of up to ten players, with the club having a maximum roster of 53 players.
