The 2018 AFL Women's draft consisted of the various periods when the ten clubs in the AFL Women's competition could recruit players prior to the competition's 2019 season.

As the previous season all player contracts are all capped at one-year deals, and all existing AFLW players must be re-signed prior to the 2019 season.

Expansion club signing period

From 11 May expansion clubs Geelong and North Melbourne were given a ten-day window to sign existing players from 2018 AFLW lists.[1] These clubs could sign a maximum of four players between them from any existing club. No compensation was offered to those clubs losing players under this process, but the each player's existing club could make a counter-offer to the player.[2] A number of deals were agreed to in principle and acknowledged by clubs prior to the opening of this window.[3]

Salary

AFLW players salaries are managed and paid in full by the AFL on behalf of the clubs. A pay deal struck between the league and the AFLPA in May 2018 set the payment structure into a four-tiered system with a maximum of three players in the top tier while leaving the make-up of lower tiers to the discretion of the clubs.[1][30] Final payment values are still under negotiation with pro-rata matching of AFL men's salaries likely to be adopted as with previous years.[31]

Inactive player compensation

Following final list lodgements, a number of players experienced changing circumstances that made them unable to participate in the 2019 season. Clubs were granted permission to place these players on an inactive list, retaining rights to their services at a assigned cost in the 2019 draft while replacing them for the one season.[32] In some cases, compensation was awarded in pre-draft listing at the cost of a discounted draft selection.[33] Players on each club's inactive list ahead of the 2018 draft are listed below:

Adelaide Jessica Allan Work [32]
Ruth Wallace Personal [32]
Brisbane Sophie Conway Injury (ACL) [34]
Collingwood Chloe Molloy Injury (foot) [34]
Melissa Kuys Injury (achilles) [33]
Melbourne Daisy Pearce Pregnancy [32]

Draft

A draft will be held at Melbourne’s Marvel Stadium on 23 October 2018.[35] As in previous drafts, players nominated a single state's draft pool, and players are eligible to be drafted only by clubs operating in their nominated state.[36] In addition, Victorian players could nominate for one of three Victorian zones: Geelong, Melbourne metro, or the entire state.[37] An order for the draft was announced on 22 May that allocated Geelong and North Melbourne picks at the end of each of each round, and a number of compensation picks to Geelong and clubs that lost players to reflect the relative weakness of their recruiting period and their loss of talent respectively.[38]
