2007 AFL draft


The 2007 Australian Football League draft consisted of four opportunities for player acquisitions during the 2007/08 Australian Football League off-season. These were trade week, the national draft, which was held on 24 November 2007, the pre-season draft and the rookie draft.

Additionally, the Western Bulldogs traded draft pick 22 to the West Coast Eagles for draft picks 30 and 35, with no player involved in the trade. This was the first year that clubs were allowed to trade picks without the trade involving a player.

The 2007 AFL season is notable for the unusually large number of players who retired, particularly senior and "champion" players.

This draft has been the first ever draft where elevated NSW scholarship players (Taylor Walker, Craig Bird, Ryan Davis, James Wilsen, Khan Haretuku) were drafted to their respective clubs by the draft under the rule, clubs must give up their last selection in either rookie or senior draft in order to draft that elevated scholarship player.
