Five WA players were selected by AFL clubs in last night's AFL mid-season draft.

Jacob Blight from Peel Thunder was the first WA player chosen, with Richmond using pick number two for the centre-half back. Blight's impressive start to the season with Peel earned him a spot in the KIA State team.

West Perth key forward Jasper Scaife was selected by Hawthorn, having scored two or more goals in three WAFL games this season for the Falcons.

Subiaco's Luker Kentfield will join fellow Lions player Koltyn Tholstrup at Melbourne. The 194cm key forward is known for his strong contested marking and versatility in the ruck.

East Fremantle ruckman Brynn Teakle received a second chance at AFL level, being selected by North Melbourne. Teakle was previously picked up by Port Adelaide in the 2022 mid-season draft and participated in pre-season training with Collingwood.

East Perth small forward Darcy Craven made his league debut for the Royals in Round 6, kicking four goals against West Coast. The Bridgetown product was selected with pick 21 by the Brisbane Lions.
