Draft Order - AFLW

[No1inParticular]

Oct-Nov-Dec-Jan-Feb-Mar

There is your 6 month contract length.

I thought the season was 8 weeks long, starting in the new year and ending before the afl starts.

Correct.
Pre-Season starts Nov.
Games Feb thru Mar, with current thinking the GF the week before the 2017 AFL Season.
The marquee contracts I think are 12months.

After the season ends current thinking is that the clubs will get to nominate 10-12 players to remain on their list.
The rest of players are delisted and go back into the draft pool and can be picked up by anyone in the future drafts.

ALL non-marquee players at seasons end can go back to their local clubs or club of choice.
Think the marquee players must remain in the state they have been marqueed to and play in the local comps.
Marquee players have year round AFL club committments/promo's etc... that they need to attend to as part of their contracts.
