AFLW - Contracted or uncontracted?

[ianh]

Contracts don't seem to mean much in AFLW.  The expansion  clubs seem to be free to raid and the clubs don't seem to want to stand in the way of players making a move despite contract status.  Don't quite know how it works as a matter of law - prima facie a contract is binding and could be used to deny a player wanting to switch clubs - but maybe there is something in the terms of the clubs entry into the competition that prevents clubs from holding a player to a contract.  Or perhaps it is just a matter of clubs accepting that most players have and need vocations outside of footy and they won't stand in the way of same.
