I'm not talking about waiting for the mid season and draft. It's more if player X goes down in round 2 and is put on the LTIL then you can go and offer a temporary contract to a player not on an AFL list. Sort of a secondment. The lower levels may not like it but it would give some players a chance to get a shot at the big time. Maybe some financial arrangement goes back to the club that loses a player for a season. Rent a player :)
