Second period

All existing clubs other than Brisbane and Fremantle could lose no more than four players to the mechanism while Brisbane and Fremantle can each lose a maximum of eight due to the entry of Gold Coast and West Coast into their previously exclusive state-zones.[23] No compensation will be offered to those clubs losing players under this process, but the player's existing club are permitted to negotiate to re-sign the player. Players can be signed under this mechanism to one or two year contracts.[24]

Train-on list

[edit]

The replacement players are signed to a train-on list and are considered semi-eligible for section. Though they are eligible to train with the club, they cannot be selected for match play until further injuries to player on the club's list mean a club has fewer than 23 players available for any single match.[97]
