Will update contract statuses when they occur, plus include rules regarding List's, Rookie Lists, the salary cap and the upcoming CBA

 

List Rules

Under the 2017-2022 CBA the rookie list will remain, but Category A rookies will be available for senior selection from the start of the 2018 season and paid at an increased rate. Clubs must have a list of 44 players (primary and Category-A rookies), with between 38 and 40 primary listed players and a maximum of six Category-A rookies. Combining primary-listed players (38-40), Category A rookies (4-6) and Category B rookies (0-3), clubs can have no more than 47 on their list.

 

14. Long Term Injury List Rules 2017-2022

(a) Each AFL Club may apply to the AFL General Counsel to transfer a Player suffering a long term injury from its Primary List to its Long Term Injury List. A long term injury means an injury or illness suffered by a Player which, in the opinion of the AFL Medical Director, after consultation with the AFL Club Medical Officer, will prevent or is likely to prevent a Player, having due regard to his health and safety, from participating in a Match for a period of not less than six weeks from 2018 onwards from the date the injury or illness is diagnosed.
(b) A Player’s name may only be added to the Long Term Injury List with the Player’s consent and with the approval of the AFL General Counsel.
(c) An injured Player who is transferred to an AFL Club’s Long Term Injury List is ineligible to play in the AFL Competition or in any other competition for the period:

1. the Player’s name is on the AFL Club’s Long Term Injury List; or
2. for the 2018 AFL Season and each subsequent AFL Season, of six weeks, whichever is greater. The period shall commence from the day on which the AFL General Counsel gives his approval for the injured Player to transfer to the AFL Club’s Long Term Injury List.

(d) An AFL Club is unable to transfer an injured Player to its Long Term Injury List after 2.00pm on Thursday following the Preliminary Final (or any such later round as determined by the General Counsel) of the AFL Premiership Season in each year.
(e) For the period a Player remains on the Long Term Injury List of an AFL Club, that AFL Club may apply to the AFL General Counsel for permission to temporarily promote a Rookie to its Primary List and subject to item 4(g) of Schedule C, any payments made to the Rookie for the period that the Rookie remains on the Primary List as a replacement for a Player on the Long Term Injury List, shall be excluded from the Total Player Payments of the AFL Club.
(f) Prior to 31 October each year, each AFL Club must determine whether a Player on the Long Term Injury List is to be included in the AFL Club’s Primary List for the following AFL Season.
(g) Football Payments made to a Player on the Long Term Injury List shall be included in calculating the Total Player Payments for the AFL Club.
(h) When an AFL Club transfers a Player from the Long Term Injury List back to the Primary List (“the date of transfer”) and the Rookie who was temporarily promoted to the Primary List in accordance with clause 14(e) in respect of that Player remains on the Primary List after the date of transfer:

1. the Rookie shall be taken into account in calculating the number of Players on the Primary List for so long as the name of the Rookie remains on the Primary List after the date of transfer; and
2. the Football Payments made to the Rookie in respect of the period his name remains on the Primary List after the date of transfer shall be taken into account in calculating the Total Player Payments of that AFL Club.

(i) The provisions of clause 14(h) shall not apply to circumstances where the name of the Rookie remains on the Primary List after the date of transfer for the purpose of replacing another Player whose name is on the Long Term Injury List.
(j) On and from 1 November 2017, “Rookie” as used in this clause shall be read as “Category B Rookie”

(l) Any amount paid to a Rookie Player nominated under clause 15(i) in excess of the base payment payable to a 1st year, third round draft choice selection shall be included in the relevant AFL Club’s Total Player Payments.
