Thanks for the update
My understanding is that each club had to give the AFL a list of 5 players (in order of preference) that they would like to be marquee players for their club.
The AFL then looks at the requests and I think will talk to the players and get their feedback & address any issues that may arise (i.e. is a player prepred tomove interstate, etc...)
The AFL wants to spread the talent, take into account the geographical/living away from home issue issues etc...
At some point the AFL will then decide the marquee players for each club. This is mooted to be mid to late July.
After that the clubs will enter the draft and build their lists based on a yet to be decided draft order & rules. This I think occurs in October.
Pre-season for the squads will commence in December.
