The '''2004 AFL draft''', concerning player acquisitions in the 2004/05 [[Australian Football League]] off-season, consisted of a trade period, a national draft, a pre-season draft, and the elevation of rookies. The [[AFL draft]] is the annual draft of talented players by [[Australian rules football]] teams that participate in the main competition of that sport, the [[Australian Football League]].

In 2004 there were 78 picks to be drafted between 16 teams in the national draft. [[Richmond Football Club|Richmond]] received the first pick in the national draft after finishing on the bottom of the ladder during the [[2004 AFL season]].  Three teams were allocated [[priority draft pick]]s for winning 5 or fewer games in the previous season, Richmond, {{AFL Haw}} and {{AFL WB}}.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://footystats.freeservers.com/Daily/Worthrep05.html#alter |title=AFL to alter priority pick order |access-date=12 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110616183923/http://footystats.freeservers.com/Daily/Worthrep05.html#alter |archive-date=16 June 2011 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> [[Carlton Football Club|Carlton's]] two-year ban from the first and second rounds of the AFL draft expired in 2004 and they returned to the early part of the draft, with selections 9 and 25.<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://footystats.freeservers.com/Special/Diary-carltoncrisis.html |title=Carlton Crisis |access-date=12 May 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110817092548/http://footystats.freeservers.com/Special/Diary-carltoncrisis.html |archive-date=17 August 2011 |url-status=dead |df=dmy-all }}</ref> As it had traded away its first and second round draft picks in [[2001 AFL Draft|2001]], effectively the Blues' first and second round draft picks were its first since [[2000 AFL draft|2000]]. They finished the 2004 season 11th with 10 wins and 12 losses, too high to be eligible for a priority draft pick.
