Another nail in the coffin for the 2nd tier competitions in Australia.

Disgraceful. Treating the 2nd tier like whores. Not in the interest of the bigger picture.

From another thread

As for the mid season draft I am a bit bet each way, I always want WAFL players to be able play at the highest level and to deny them the opportunity would be a bit not right.

I also understand that a club may have their finals chances cruelled by losing a star player just cos an AFL wants to top up their list.

The possible solutions are that if a club loses a player then there must some form of compensation which maybe being able top up their list from the reserves list of another club, bit of a domino process plus receive a financial compensation from the AFL club and it must be direct and not via the commission or WAFL.

Also if the player is not player after 5 rounds they come back, bit of ruckus for the player but I am sure they will cope given the experience.
