Players may change their position throughout the year, however the position allocated to their [Player Card](https://gameday-squad.gitbook.io/gameday-squad/platform-features/player-cards) won't change for the remainder of that season. Player positions are reviewed annually by the GameDay Squad team and their [Player Card](https://gameday-squad.gitbook.io/gameday-squad/sports/womens-aussie-rules/broken-reference) is updated before the start of the following season. GameDay Squad uses StatsPerform (<https://www.statsperform.com/>) for positional analysis. If our stats provider lists a player as dual position, GameDay Squad not having dual positions will have the final say in what position a player will be for the upcoming season. \
\
The base process generally follows the following process:\
\
**GameDay Squad Women's Aussie Rules:**\
\
**MID/Other** - FWD/DEF/RUCK

**FWD/DEF, FWD/RUCK, RUCK/DEF, DEF/RUCK** -  Predominant position as indicated by the stats providers&#x20;
