League | AFL Women's |
The 2023 AFL Women's supplementary draft was the draft that enabled the 18 clubs in the AFL Women's competition to recruit overage players prior to the 2023 AFL Women's season.
On October 19, 2022, the AFL announced that the draft would be a once-off overage national draft, to be held on Tuesday, 4 April, 2023.[1] This was a stop-gap measure due to the shortened seasons between season 7 and the 2023 season, and there being no underage competition between the last draft in June 2022 and this one. Only players aged over 19 were eligible to be drafted.[1]
