So today is the last day of the 2nd 'sign and trade period'
Today also opens up the first day of the free agency signings which will continue until April 30.
Still waiting on Bri Davey trade.
No real details on how free agency actually works in the AFLW, but what is to stop Collingwood saying they will not trade for Bri Davey, and then signing her as a free agent. Basically getting her for nothing.
We might get a decent compensation pick for losing her, but Pies wouldn't have to give anything up to get her (if FA works like the mens).
Does that depend on the expiry date of the standard contracts? In AFL that is after the trade period, but before the PSD, and as pointed out the Filth do not have the first picks. So I suppose an expansion club could we make a play.
It would be a smart move by use to drum up some 3rd party interest.
