End of First Round Draft Selection for Palmer
The AFL has notified the club of the compensation it will receive for the departure of Rhys Palmer to GWS.
The selection for Palmer may be activated by Fremantle at the end of round one in any one of the 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014 or 2015 NAB AFL Draft Selection Meetings.
The selection will be immediately placed after the selection of the premiership team of that season (which concludes round one), and any compensation pick under AFL Rule 6 (In 2011, each of the Gold Coast Suns, Port Adelaide and the Brisbane Lions will receive a selection under this rule).
In the case of two or more clubs activating an end of round one selection in the one AFL Draft Meeting, the club(s) that is (are) placed lower on the premiership ladder in that particular season, will be placed first in the selection order.
For the selection to be activated for the 2011 NAB AFL Draft, Fremantle will be required to notify the AFL of its intention to use the selection by Friday November 11, 2011.
For the selection to be activated for any of the years 2012-2015 in the NAB AFL Draft of that particular year, Fremantle will be required to notify the AFL of its intention to use the selection by the last Tuesday of that particular year, prior to the start of the Toyota AFL Premiership Season.
The club has the right to on-trade its compensation selection to another club.
If the club on-trades its compensation selection to another club, the selection may be used in that year's NAB AFL Draft Selection meeting, or in any other year up to the 2015 NAB AFL Draft.
The lodgement of the contract offer to Palmer by the Giants means GWS cannot automatically select another uncontracted player from Fremantle.
