At the conclusion of the period clubs were required to have 27 senior-listed and three rookie-listed players.

Expansion club signing period

First period

Prior to the completion of the 2019 season, future expansion clubs Template:AFLW GC, Template:AFLW Ric, Template:AFLW StK and Template:AFLW WC were permitted to pre-list up to 10 players from their women's academies or designated development zones. A maximum of seven of these players could be open-age signings who had nominated for the 2018 AFL Women's draft but not been selected. A final three spots were reserved for three junior players of minimum draft age (born in 2001) and who hailed from the clubs' designated development regions.[1]

Second period

From 8 April expansion clubs Template:AFLW GC, Template:AFLW Ric, Template:AFLW StK and Template:AFLW WC will have an 11-day window until 18 April to sign players who played for existing clubs during the 2019 season.[23] These clubs can sign a maximum of 12 players each through this mechanism. All existing clubs other than Template:AFLW BL and Template:AFLW Fre could lose no more than four players to the mechanism while Brisbane and Fremantle can each lose a maximum of eight due to the entry of Template:AFLW GC and West Coast into their previously exclusive state-zones.[23] No compensation will be offered to those clubs losing players under this process, but the player's existing club are permitted to negotiate to re-sign the player. Players can be signed under this mechanism to one or two year contracts.[24]

Train-on list

Before the opening round of the season, clubs were permitted to replace players who had suffered a long-term injury or for whom personal circumstances had ruled them out for playing in any match that year. The replacement players are signed to a train-on list and are considered semi-eligible for section. Though they are eligible to train with the club, they cannot be selected for match play until further injuries to player on the club's list mean a club has fewer than 23 players available for any single match.[97]
