So lots of things I still don't understand. If no deal can be done, can Kelly go in the draft? I assume he can. But then, what does he do when Gold Coast pick him?
But let us assume that all the other clubs steer clear and leave him for WC, and they pick him. Do they then need to sit down with him and decide on a salary? Or can they just go, "Its $200,00 per year, take it or leave it"? And if they do offer too little, can he refuse to play?
If you give me answers I'd be grateful, but if it could just play out in real-time next year, I'd be ecstatic.
