TIGER OO, I am pretty sure that WAFL Clubs get $10k from the AFL (maybe from the AFL Club) for each player taken in the mid season draft. I’ll try to find the source and post a link.

It seems that  players draft in mid season from WAFL to WCE will continue to play WAFL with original club.

This was copied from the link:

State League Participation:
 
Players who are selected in the 2021 Mid-Season Rookie Draft that stay in their original State are subject to the following:

• They will not be permitted to play against their original Club unless otherwise agreed by all parties.
• The player has the right to return to their original Club to participate in finals if their service is no longer required at their AFL Club.

The point, in bold, only says they won't play against their original club (unless agreed).  However, it doesn't say that the player will remain available to play for their original club. 

The point, in italics, definitely points to the scenario where the player has been moved from their original club during the home and away rounds.

the way i'm reading it they can only play for their original state league club in the finals if released by their AFL  club not the home and away

That certainly is how I have read it.  It is just a joke and treats the WAFL clubs with disdain.  

Thanks S42 and RL. I read it too broadly. It is safe to assume though that WCE will not be in the finals. 

Congrats to those 4 WAFL players getting selected. I read that the Eagles might seek permission for Will Collins to play for their reserves. A few other clubs would be breathing a sigh of relief I reckon.

As I read it the only permission they need is if they wanted him to play against Swans; they don't need permission to play him against any other WAFL club.

If the Eagles did ask Swans the answer should be, in my opinion, an unequivocal NO.

The way I read it WAFL players would remain with their WAFL team on match days if drafted by either WC or Fremantle. I don’t think it would make sense for WC to ask permission for Collins to play one match with their reserves. I think the idea being to fast rack his learnings with McGovern and others being out.

For instance I think Connor West will play the remainder of the season with WP unless called up for an AFL debut. I think these mid season draft picks are rookie listed anyway and have to be elevated onto the main list to be eligible to play.

These are the conditions:

• They will not be permitted to play against their original Club unless otherwise agreed by all parties.

• The player has the right to return to their original Club to participate in finals if their service is no longer required at their AFL Club.

Both of these points would be redundant if the player remained at their original WAFL club.
