g'day guys, have no idea where to put this so i settled on here.
even though players don't usually get traded under contract, it does happen sometimes.
So, with that in mind, could something like the following example happen, or are there some guidelines or rules i'm missing.
say brendon goddard (just an example) gets approached by GWS late this season, and they make an informal offer.
Could he then go to the saints and say i'm going up to GWS next year, but you have been really good to me, so i want to give something back, and sign a contract extension to force gws to trade st kilda some better compensation if they want goddard?
Basically a sign and trade nba/nfl style, can it happen?
