The AFL are still working through all that.
There have been a few changes.
Initially, the comp was going to expand to include every club who tried to get an AFLW license but was knocked back - about 14 or so.
Then, the AFL said it was going to be the status quo - 8 teams.
Last i heard they were going to expand to 10 teams and have a finals system.
Who knows.
In any event, the basic logic was when new teams were coming in, you could keep X amount of players, the rest had to go into the draft so that the new teams could get some talent. Probably with some priority picks included.
I think the magic number was once 10. Who knows where it'll end up.
Essentially the club will opt to keep/re-sign a select group of players and i cannot imagine that Vescio wouldn't make the cut. Especially considering she works at the club and is basically the face of the AFLW team.
