That is the biggest drawback of an even comp.
The only reason its currently zoned is because the money isn't big enough to get players to relocate.
Increase the wages to the point where players can and will relocate and then you are halfway there to an equal comp.
I’m not sure that it’s as simple as that. Players like our skipper have a career and it will be many years before playing AFLW footy trumps her career and many others.
Zoned drafting is inequitable and is holding the competition back. Unfortunately, the alternative will exclude many players. Like many AFL initiatives, the outcomes are often counter-intuitive.
