It only happens because everyone is a free agent all of the time.
From this season, clubs can sign players for 2 years. So it will mean that a lot of players are off limits.
Apart from that, if you have a happy, healthy club with upside, players won't leave.
So far the only carlton name i've heard thrown up as any chance of really going has been Rhiannon Watt. She was a late in for Tayla Harris in R2, and may have played the next week. She didn't show much worth persisting with IMO so if she wants to go to St. Kilda, good. Means that we can only lose 3 other players from our list to this system....if clubs can find 3 that will leave.
