NEARLY 340 prospects have nominated for Wednesday's 2025 AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft, with clubs still using the final countdown to settle on their plans.

A list of 338 hopefuls was circulated to clubs on Tuesday, which includes players hoping for their first shot at the AFL system – like the locked and loaded No.1 pick Tom McCarthy, who is heading to West Coast from Richmond's VFL side – and ex-AFL players like Adam Tomlinson, Oscar Adams and Liam McMahon, who are all hoping to get another chance on an AFL list.

Caleb Lewis, a 198cm forward from Dingley in Melbourne's Southern Football League who has been strongly linked to Gold Coast, was part of the final group of nominations confirmed in the fourth update.

Essendon has up to four picks at the draft and a host of the Bombers VFL players have nominated for the draft, including former Kangaroo Tyler Sellers, Will Hoare and Cam Nyko.

Geelong premiership winner Brandan Parfitt, former Pie and Saint Jack Bytel, ex-Sun Oskar Faulkhead, former Swan Hugo Hall-Kahan, ex-Bomber Tom Hird and former Crow Patrick Parnell are all among the AFL players hoping to return to a list at the top level, while former Saint Adams has captured interest from Gold Coast.

The likes of Michael Sellwood (Peel Thunder), Harrison Ramm (Glenelg), Ewan Mackinlay (North Adelaide) and Jacob Newton (Norwood) are all being looked at closely to break into the AFL system for the first time.
