The Mid-Season Rookie Draft is over for 2019, with 13 players given an AFL lifeline.

North Melbourne took South Australian forward Lachie Hosie, with pick five.

Carlton confirmed wide-spread speculation on Monday night in making former Docker Josh Deluca the No.1 pick in the first NAB AFL Mid-Season Rookie Draft in 26 years.

The 179cm midfielder managed only four games in three seasons on Fremantle's list between 2015 and 2017, but his outstanding form in the WAFL forced him back onto the national radar. 

Deluca gathered 29 disposals in Subiaco's Grand Final triumph last year – the fourth WAFL premiership he's been part of – and is averaging 25.7 possessions through six rounds in 2019.

He also accepted the Simpson Medal as the WAFL's best player against the SANFL a fortnight ago, coming after he amassed 29 touches, seven tackles and a goal in a seven-point defeat.
