TOPIC:

Each WAFL club will be stripped of one player for the wcer!

 

"West Coast will pay a $600,000 license fee to remain in the competition though the payment will not be tied to the dividend provided to WAFL clubs."  

So who gets the coin then?? So they take a player from each club but the clubs don't get any of the license fee. Sounds fair

They are limited to recruiting 1 player from each team. It’s not that they get a free pick of someone from each. For example if they somehow convinced Aaron Black to come and play for them, they would be prevented from getting anyone else from WP. But would be free to look at other teams and get a maximum of 1 player from each. 

In a year’s time, i’m sure all restrictions will be lifted after they whinge about losing to Subiaco in the GF 

It's my understanding that they can sign one player from each WAFL club who is outside that club's protected 37. That would mean a fringe reserves player or similar. Then of course the player would need to agree to the move otherwise he wouldn't sign I guess. I could be wrong but that's my interpretation.

I don't have a problem with them getting to pick up one player per WAFL club so long as it's after a certain date say 1st Feb or later when all WAFL clubs should have their recruiting completed by then. But also there should be the same rules applied re transfer fees and a points cap.

could they also come from colts players - ones that may not make senior lists ?

I guess they could Southy but it may be they're off limits as part of the WAFC player development set up...a good question though which needs answering as WAFL clubs wouldn't want their best colts being pinched.

It probably should be uncontracted league/reserves players. 

They pulled out and now they are back in for the next three years.
Can't work this mob out. Guess who the coach is?
