AFLW 2019 List Changes

[DJC]

I'm getting a bit shat off how the new franchises can cannibalise the existing clubs with no compensation.  History repeats with some of these clubs: Norp with ten years rule,  the tiges with the 80s self destructive trade war.

I get why the AFL wants new clubs to be successful but it shouldn’t be at the expense of clubs that have worked hard to build a reasonable list ... with the possible exception of the Crows 

I think that the AFL should allow for 2-3 seasons before the expansion clubs are competing for finals spots.  Expansion clubs could have academies and should build lists through State league teams before poaching from established clubs.
