Priority signing period

Following the expectation of a stagnant draft, the AFL announced the introduction of a new priority signing period (PSP) in which the four expansion clubs Essendon, Hawthorn, Port Adelaide, and Sydney will be able to poach players who have played three or more AFLW seasons.[1] Port Adelaide were also able to sign one underaged player.[2]
