The Western Bulldogs passed over their exhibition match captain Stephanie Chiocci, opting instead to take courageous small midfielder Jamie Lambert as their first pick of the day, fifth overall.
Collingwood snapped up Chiocci with their second pick, 11th overall.
The eight AFL women's teams had each already recruited a handful of players under a system that allowed them a small number of "marquee" and "priority" players, who will be heavily involved in promoting the game and will be paid more than the draftees.
