Nominations are open for the WA draft ahead of the inaugural season of the AFL national women’s league in 2017.

The draft, to be conducted on October 12, will see 19 players selected to represent Fremantle in the competition, which will run between February and March of next year.
 
Clubs will then select three players from a national pool comprising those who missed selection in their state-based drafts.
