Greater Western Sydney concessions

The Greater Western Sydney Football Club was to join the AFL in 2012, and was provided with several draft concessions, including additional draft selections, early access to recruit 17-year-old players, and access to uncontracted and previously listed players in this offseason. These concessions were similar to those provided to the Gold Coast Football Club, which entered the league in the previous season.

Greater Western Sydney was permitted to recruit the following players directly, without the need for any draft:
  • At the end of 2010, up to twelve 17-year-old players (born between January 1 – 30 April 1993), who were too young to enter the 2010 AFL Draft
    2010 AFL Draft

    . These players were not eligible to play senior AFL football in 2011, and would continue to undergo junior development, either in Sydney or their home state.
  • Up to ten players who were not on an AFL list but had previously nominated for a National Draft. These players could be recruited at the end of either 2011 or 2012, with no more than ten players recruited in this manner over the two years. Greater Western Sydney could immediately trade any players recruited in this manner.
  • Up to sixteen players who were on an AFL list, but were out of contract at the end of the season. Again, these players could be recruited at the end of either 2011 or 2012, with no more than sixteen players recruited in this manner over the two years, and no more than one player recruited from any other club. Clubs who lose players in this manner receive compensatory selections in the National Draft; the number and value of these selections is determined based on age, contract size, on-field performance and draft order, and may be used in any year between 2011–2015.
  • Up to sixteen players recruited from the New South Wales and Australian Capital Territory zone

    , recruited at any time between 2010–2013, and from the Northern Territory zone, recruited between 2011–2013.


Then, in the drafts, Greater Western Sydney had the following selections:
  • In the 2011 National Draft, the first selection in each round, and picks No. 2, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 in the first round.
  • In the 2010 Rookie Draft, the first eight selections.


Additionally, at the end of 2011, Greater Western Sydney had the ability to trade the only four selections in a once-off "Mini-Draft", which could be used to recruit 17-year-old players (born between January 1 – 30 April 1994). Greater Western Sydney could only use these draft picks as trade currency; the club was not permitted to use the picks for its own list development. Players recruited and traded in this manner were not eligible to play senior AFL football in 2012, and would continue to undergo junior development. This specific concession was unique to Greater Western Sydney; Gold Coast did not have the same concession the previous year.

Greater Western Sydney began with an expanded list size of up to fifty senior players and nine rookies, to be gradually reduced to a standard list size of thirty-eight senior players and nine rookies by 2019.

Mini-Draft

Greater Western Sydney had up to four selections in the once-off mini-draft, which could be used to recruit seventeen-year-olds who would not be eligible for the 2011 National Draft, and who could not play senior AFL football until the 2013 season. GWS could not use these draft picks themselves, but could trade them to other clubs. In the end, only Gold Coast and Adelaide secured trades with GWS for selections in this draft.
