Trading period:
The trading period occurs shortly after the end of the season and allows clubs to trade players on that year's list to other clubs in exchange for other players, draft selections or a combination of both. The simplest form of this deal is to trade player A for player B, but often the deals are more complicated involving combinations of clubs, players and draft selections. Players involved must consent to the swap before a deal can be finalised and deals must be forwarded to the AFL by an agreed deadline.

NAB AFL Draft:
It is compulsory for clubs to participate and by this stage they can have a maximum of 35 players on their list. The AFL forms an official order of selection for that year’s NAB AFL Draft and distributes it to all clubs and media. Potential AFL players from around Australia must nominate for the NAB AFL Draft by the cut-off date to be eligible for selection. Clubs can also nominate players they will select under the father/son rule (explained later) before the draft and elevate players from the Rookie List on to their senior list. The NAB AFL Draft is the centrepiece of the AFL's off-season. It commands huge media attention with all selections analysed and each club's strategy assessed. The number at which a player is selected in the draft has implications for his minimum entitlements under the AFL/AFL Players' Association Collective Bargaining Agreement. Much of the attention is focused on the No.1 draft selection.


Rookie List:
The Rookie List has been a successful innovation in AFL football. Each club is allowed to select a maximum of six players, or nine in the case of Sydney and Brisbane, to be placed on the rookie list. These players can play in the pre-season competition or be promoted as a long-term injury replacement player during the home and away season.
