VFLW - Salary cap, List management & match selection

Post by Dark Beanie »

First time I have seen this info articulated in one article.

"THE rebel VFLW competition will remain virtually unchanged in the 2022 season, with only a small tweak made to the development player selection rule.

While clubs will still select 21 players for a match, AFLW and AFLW-aligned teams now only must select five under-22 development players each week (down from six), while the requirement for the four standalone clubs remains at three.

Indigenous players who have yet to make their VFLW debuts can now also be signed as Category B development players alongside NAB Leaguers and Next Generation Academy members.

The VFLW’s 12 teams will again play 14 home-and-away matches across 16 rounds from Saturday, February 12, with the fixture due to be released shortly.

The early start means a full talent pathway to the AFLW will be in place for the first time, with the NAB League Girls to also get underway in February, providing more opportunities for clubs to produce the next Daisy Pearce, Darcy Vescio or Katie Brennan."
