If there was a points penalty imposed on clubs recruiting players eligible for junior football (say Under 15's and above), then it might slow or stop this practice. It's been happening for years now with clubs in the Essendon and Eastern leagues among the most active participants.

How about adding 2 points to that player and it stays attached to them while they are at their new club until they turn 21.

It would really come into play if a club's recruitment policy centres around pilfering talented players from other junior clubs. Five talented teens from other clubs would attract a decent deterrent of 10 points until they turn 21 and the upshot should be that the club focuses more on developing the players that they already have.
