All clubs will be allowed to trade future draft picks in this year's trade period after the AFL Commission approved the move at a meeting on Tuesday.

The decision was ratified by the commission, which was understood to be persuaded by the need to introduce more mechanisms to help lowly clubs rebuild more quickly.

The AFL executive sought feedback from clubs over several proposals for trading future picks before presenting options to the commission. It is understood the clubs overwhelmingly supported the change to extend future trading to all clubs.

The AFL will meet list and recruiting managers on Wednesday morning where the detail of the changes will be outlined.
