Backlash might make them want to go to Perth more but it doesn't help him get there in fact it makes it harder to achieve. There's a reason why you don't see guys like Connors and Petroro (who both get deals done) allow their clients to behave like this in public. Van Der Weilen is out of his depth.
The only reason reason Kelly stayed is due to contract. That's no longer an issue. Backlash doesn't make a deal harder to achieve in this case, for Geelong no longer have a contract to fall back upon. If Freo finish well down the ladder, their 1st pick doesn't get used on taking Kelly. He goes to WC in the draft, unless Geelong play ball.
