So say Adelaide finished last next year, had pick 1 in the PSD as a result, and say Rakine was out of contract next year after a super season with GC. If Adelaide then decided they wernt going to trade for him, didn't even talk to GC and then walked him through the PSD without any attempt to trade, would the AFL allow that, or is there an expectation that a trade should be attempted? Say the AFL try mediation and the Crows say, not interested in a trade, and walked out, would the AFL let GC lose one of their best talents for nothing?
Could the AFL do anything?
