We've already lost 2 in Prespakis and Gee.
This system is crap. Top teams can lose more players, thus are more likely to reach the 'threshold' of 28 points, thus more likely to keep their pick.
So much for getting extra picks for losing players, we will be lucky to KEEP our existing first round pick only if we lose enough talent.
Quote:But what are the rules clubs face when it comes to losing players through expansion?
Each player in the competition has been assigned a points value which is calculated based on age, payment tier, career games and any awards they might have won.
To keep their first round draft pick for the upcoming NAB AFLW Draft, existing clubs must lose a total of 28 points worth of players.
Should clubs not reach that threshold, they will go to the draft without a first round selection.
Clubs can lose a variable number of players in line with this points system, based on recent successes and location.
Quote:Each of the top seven teams from the past two seasons combined may lose (via expansion) a maximum of:We fall into the bottom category and can lose only 3.
Four players if in Victoria, Queensland or Western Australia
Eight players if in New South Wales or South Australia
Each of the bottom seven teams from the past two seasons combined may lose (via expansion) a maximum of:
Three players if in Victoria, Queensland or Western Australia
Six players if in New South Wales or South Australia
