Given the pittance the girls are paid (again an AFL park up), big offers from the new clubs were impossible to refuse.
Shorter careers is another factor that encourages AFLW players to chase dollars a little more than their AFL counterparts.
That said, I think Harf probably was instrumental in some players leaving. He tried to impose some standards; if you're not sure you want to be here, don't let the door hit your butt on the way out.
