AFLW - Trade

[LP]

From my understanding all the interstate teams aren't interested in picks coming their way.

Come draft time they only pick from the pool of girls that have nominated to play in their state.

So giving Bris our 10th 12th pick means nothing. They would be picking the girls at that pick anyway at one of their picks.

The interstate clubs want players not picks.

That is how it currently stands for the northern clubs, because there are effectively zero women's comps in the northern states. But it's a different situation for the other states, SA and WA actually have an advantage over the Vic clubs.

In any case, that rule won't stay in place if AFLW becomes a success, the girls will have to become full-time professional and go where the contracts come from.

At the moment they have a strong case for work and lifestyle choices because the season is so short it's just semi-professional. They have to supplement AFLW with other careers.
