Another kick in nuts for the state league clubs. Clubs liable to lose their best player during the year which can affect premiership chances etc...
Another issue is its possible a drafted player might end up playing against his State League Club. As I understand it, if knackers was drafted from Coburg to Essendon he then plays for the Bombers until/if he gets a senior callup. That would be hard to cop....
Also havent heard how/if the club is compensated for the loss of their best player...
