How do transfers and permits work, and when can a transfer be refused?

Q: How do transfers and permits work, and when can a transfer be refused?

All WA Football competitions follow the AFL National Player Transfer Regulations. Transfer windows: 1 to 30 November, and 1 February to 30 June. Permits stay open all season. No club may charge a player any fee, levy or surcharge for transfers or permits. A player cannot hold permits for two junior competitions in different leagues or regions on a regular weekly basis. A player who plays a senior community match (for example Perth Football League) can still play a junior match on the same weekend. A player recorded in, or named (not as an emergency) for, a WAFL or WAFLW match cannot play a junior match that weekend, including one scheduled before the WAFL match. Emergencies only remain eligible. Players leaving a WAFL club return to their Club of Origin. A transfer may be refused only if: the player must keep playing for the source club (a permit is needed instead) the player is financially indebted to the source club (proper records needed, such as outstanding fees) the player has club property that must be returned (such as a playing jumper) the player wants to withdraw the request and stay
