Players were able to nominate their own contract details for the mid season draft Raglan so no issues with tampering. It's a massive thing to relocate mid-season, quit or put on hold your job/studies/family life to be an AFL footballer for a few months. Players could nominate contracts for longer periods, more money or with whatever terms they like.
The draft was mostly clubs taking project ruckman unlikely to get a game in the next couple of years or stop gap ruckman for the rest of the season. Of the selections that weren't ruckman, none stand out to me as making much of a lasting impact at their clubs let alone playing any quality games this season. It seemed to be list padding for the most part.
