Draft Order - AFLW

[LP]

That is the part i was confused with.

I knew you could nominate for a state that was not your own, but i didn't know that meant you couldn't also nominate for your own state as well.

Yep, I think the AFL recognises this first draft might be a bit shallow and has given the girls the opportunity to play in a state where they can base themselves with friends or family. Keep in mind that the season is only six months, the initial wages are lowish, and the AFL and clubs cover no relocation costs.

It's only a two month season LP, and timed to ensure that it doesn't clash with other commitments players may have.

I thought it's two months of games plus the pre-season, the contracts are six months  and then all the contracts expire.

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.

Its draft day.  CFC are live on the facebook page so you can watch.

Id say it will be interesting to see who we end up with, but im yet to watch anyone kick a ball so will just wait for the list of names and go from there.
