AFL opportunities will be provided to a host of Swisse VFL Women’s players on Wednesday when the NAB AFL Women’s draft is conducted in Melbourne.
19 VFL Women’s players have already been selected through marque, priority and rookie selections made over the last month (see list below). Nine players from premiership side Darebin are already on lists followed by five players from 2016 VFL Women’s runners up Melbourne Uni.
While GWS and Brisbane have the first two selections in the draft on Wednesday from 1pm, Carlton will select the first Victorian player with the draft state based for each club. That means in the first round, the order of Victorian league players selected will be chosen by Carlton (pick 3), Western Bulldogs (5), Collingwood (6) and Melbourne (8). The draft order will then reverse, with Melbourne to have the first selection in the second round, followed by Collingwood, Western Bulldogs and Carlton.
Clubs in the new NAB AFL Women’s competition will make 19 selections on draft day to take list levels to 22, with a free agency period to follow where clubs are able to select players from interstate that have nominated but not been pick in the draft.
