Recruiting AFLW Draft and Trade 2024 - Key dates in OP

[Lore]

"THE AFLW'S first fully national draft will be held on Monday, December 16, with a seven-day trade period locked in for the week prior. While last year's draft allowed prospects to nominate for a national pool, the 2024 Telstra AFLW Draft will be the first time in the competition's history that all players will be eligible to be drafted to any club across the country. Previous drafts were state-based, due to the part-time nature of the competition, but an average 20 per cent increase in remuneration for AFLW draftees as well as the recent introduction of relocation allowances have paved the way for a fully national draft."
