The 2023 AFLW draft kicks off on Monday night, with the Western Bulldogs set to be significant players with a suite of picks.
The Dogs hold half of the first six picks, with their draft hand bolstered following a mega 11-club deal in the final stages of the trade period last week.
Intrigue surrounds who will be taken with the top pick of this year’s draft period, with key forward Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner right in the frame to become the latest number one selection.

Pearce appointed as Eagles AFLW coach | 01:09
Weston-Turner turned heads at the draft combine with impressive results and is widely expected to be taken by the Dogs.
West Coast holds the second pick and will be looking to continue creating optimism around its future after appointing Daisy Pearce as its senior coach.
Almost 600 players have nominated for the draft, but there will only be 57 picks.
Father-daughter selections are also in the mix, with Bryde O’Rourke, Meg Robertson and Jemma Rigoni all potential options.
It marks a quick turnaround from the AFLW Grand Final, which was won by the Brisbane Lions just over two weeks ago.
The draft begins at 7pm AEDT.
