A DECISION on whether live trading will be brought into this year's NAB AFL Draft will be made in the next few weeks, AFL chief Gillon McLachlan says.

Clubs have expected they would be able to trade draft selections throughout the event this year, but no rules have been presented yet by the AFL.

McLachlan has been a supporter of the move and is keen for players to also be up for trade during the draft in the future as part of a more flexible player movement landscape.

However, the League hasn't formalised any rules on clubs swapping picks during the draft and McLachlan said he was uncertain if it would be introduced this year.

"I don't know whether it will or won't," he said on Wednesday.

"The decision hasn't been made on that yet. The process is being worked through and I imagine a decision will be made in the next two or three weeks."

The look of the draft this year remains a mystery, with the League having explored the concept of running it over two days.

Under that scenario, it is likely the first two rounds of the draft would be held on one night and the rest of the draft, and potentially the rookie draft, would follow the next day.

The location is also yet to be decided. AFL.com.au reported last week Tasmania was being considered as a possible host, with the state understood to be vying with Melbourne as the most likely venue.

McLachlan wouldn't be drawn on where the draft could be staged, with it having been held in Gold Coast, Sydney and Adelaide over the past four years.

"[We're] looking at all options. There's five states and a couple of territories, so they're working through that at the moment. I'm hopeful we'll make an announcement by the end of June," McLachlan said.
