Geelong Football Club draft and trade history

The Geelong Football Club has participated in the Australian Football League (AFL) Draft since it was first established in 1986, when it was known as the Victorian Football League (VFL).

Draft selections

A mid-season draft was held each year from 1990 to 1993, allowing clubs to add players during the season. Since 2016, clubs have had the option of nominating category B rookies to directly join their club's rookie list, rather than via the Rookie Draft as previously required.^[1]
