AFLW: Roos, Cats start list builds ahead of '19

Daria Bannister, Jenna Bruton, Emma Kearney have all officially joined North Melbourne for next season. The good new is we can only lose 1 more player to either North or Geelong (maximum of 4 unless we agree to it).

Friday marks the start of the signing period for the two expansion clubs, who will have until May 21 to sign 2018 AFLW players from any club.
With all AFLW players out of contract, AFLW clubs have the right to counter any offer put forward by either North Melbourne or Geelong to a player who was on their list in 2018.

The AFL has to agree to any player movement before it is made official.

No compensation terms have been announced by the AFL to clubs who have lost players to expansion sides, although the draft order will be released at the end of the expansion signing period.

Some form of compensation may be worked into the draft order or the number of draft picks given to a club.

The remaining eight AFLW sides have their own sign and trade period from May 23 to June 4, and can re-sign up to 23 of their 30 players who played this year.
