WAFL PLAYER AUCTION

The Swan Districts Player Auction is a fun way for members and supporters to get an even closer involvement with the club in 2026.

By purchasing a player group, you’re in the running to receive a large cash dividend each week. The dividend remitted will depend on the total amount of monies in the pool at the end of the auction.
So take up the challenge and become a proud owner of one of our Player Groups.

Player Auction Rules
This year there will be one Best on Ground selected in each of the Colts, Reserves and League teams every game. The best-case scenario would be if you have all three Best On Ground players in your group.

Prize Money
The formula for calculating the prize money is as follows – 60% of money raised at the auction will be paid back to purchasers as a cash dividend. 35% of the money will be allocated to the League prize pool, 15% to the Reserves pool and 10% to the Colts pool. The remaining 40% will go to the club to support its annual fundraising target.

Player Auction Groups
Auction groups will be finalised and announced at the WAFL Season Launch on Thursday 18 March.

Points to Remember
– The Player group you purchase is yours for the 2026 Swan Districts home and away season.
– In the instance of a player/s who is not allocated to a group but joins the club during the season, the dividend amount will be allocated pro-rata amongst all player groups should the player be deemed Best on Ground.
– All dividends will be distributed at the end of the season.
– The weekly Best on Ground in the League, Reserves and Colts will be the player selected by the Head Coach for their respective team. The leaderboard will be published on club’s website.
– Payment by the successful bidder is required on the night of the auction.

The WAFL Season Launch starts at 6:30pm. Food and drinks will be available to purchase on the night.
