AFLW Trade, Draft and list changes 2024

Not sure we should get hung up on who gets paid Tier 1 etc.

Personally I'd be surprised if either KB or MC are T1. They can make the $$ elsewhere.

Crafty list managers make better use of tier payments. (within the rules)

There's not that much difference in $ between a T1 and a T2, only $15K. Clubs are allowed to have 3 x players on T1, but most clubs only have the 2, for a reason. You would think that we would be the same.

Is this serious. As if MC and KB wouldn’t be Tier 1. Why do you think Sheerin left?

No need to make KB T1 when our sponsors pay beautifully for the promotions they do as a trade off. Can pay KB a lower Tier to get another player up to T1 and supported. There was more going on for Sheerin than just Tiers. These arrangements are being allowed to run their contractual course.....

It's about pulling the best outcome for the team - an example only. KB does marketing with a Club sponsor including adverts and pulls $250k under promo contract, while Gabby Seymour, who is far less marketable, gets T1 - win win.

As I said, it's just an example of what is possible - it's a crude guess. The Tiered levels can, and are, being easily supplemented with promotional contracts and to a lesser extent ambassadorial roles.

In Katie's case, she's been widely used with NIB, is involved with Toyota and is a NAB ambassador, and probably more if you look about.

Agree 100% Anyone who thinks Sheerin left because of tiers has rocks in their head.

Very easy to name at least 8 players who would on T1 or T2 at Nth and be favoured pay wise over Sheerin. They aren't going to blow up their premiership list by bringing in an outsider on bigger coin.
