The '''2003 AFL draft''' was the 2003 instance of the [[AFL draft]], the annual [[draft (sports)|draft]] of talented players by [[Australian rules football]] teams that participate in the main competition of that sport, the [[Australian Football League]]. The 2003 draft consisted of a trade period, the national, pre-season and rookie drafts and the elevation of previously drafted rookies to the senior list.

There were 83 draft selections between the 16 teams in the national draft. The [[Western Bulldogs]] received the first pick in the national draft after finishing on the bottom of the ladder during the [[2003 AFL season]]. The Bulldogs and Melbourne both received a [[Priority draft pick|priority selection]] for having earned 20 premiership points of less during the preceding season. Carlton also received a priority selection, despite being banned from the first two rounds of this year's draft, owing to [[Carlton Football Club salary cap breach|salary cap breaches]] discovered the previous year.

This draft is considered one of the weaker drafts, with almost half of the 16 club's first picks delisted within the following 4 years.<ref>Healy, G; [http://www.news.com.au/heraldsun/story/0,21985,23480037-19742,00.html 2003 Draft is a blight on recruiters]; [[The Herald Sun]]; 2008-04-04</ref> It has produced one [[Brownlow Medal]]list, [[Adam Cooney]], who is the first and, as of 2021, only number-one draft pick to win the award.

The main trades that occurred involved [[Nathan G. Brown|Nathan Brown]] switching from the Bulldogs to Richmond and [[Trent Croad]] returning to Hawthorn after spending two years with [[Fremantle Football Club|Fremantle]]. The trading period also contained ''The Veale Deal'', where unknown youngster Lochlan Veale was traded by Hawthorn to the Western Bulldogs in a lopsided three-way deal involving Essendon. In the deal Hawthorn gained [[Danny Jacobs (footballer)|Danny Jacobs]], Essendon gained [[Mark Alvey]] and the number six selection in the draft and the Bulldogs officially only received Veale, and had an understanding Hawthorn that they would not trade [[Jade Rawlings]] to any other club, allowing the Bulldogs to select him with the first selection in the pre-season draft.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2003/10/17/1066364488943.html|title=Veale deal a fitting end to the trade game|first=Jake |last=Niall|date=18 October 2003}}</ref>
