The AFL's new executive general manager of football Laura Kane said the processes around free agency compensation were part of a wider review into the Trade Period.
"There's clearly a lot of interest in free agency compensation," Kane told Gettable.
"The formula, with everything relating to trade and player movement generally, it's all connected. Of course, I'm sure the fans would love visibility of something like the calculation for compensation. But we don't currently reveal player salaries. It's all connected.
"Wholesale change would be required to reveal or look at some aspects of free agency (compensation). We did flag with clubs ahead of the period that we would review it.
"We have the benefit of a four-year CBA term remaining, the fifth year just gone. We have certainty around things like the broadcast deal, so to that end we're able to look at different rules and different mechanisms and what needs to be captured in things like compensation for free agents to make sure that it's reflective of the market."
