Ok this might be a stupid question, but there's a couple of things I'm not sure about regarding the pre-season draft. I know it's basically the road that's taken when there's a stalemate between a club and player over a proposed trade but I don’t quite know how it works. I read today that if Carlton force Bret Thornton into the PSD then he’s likely to place a "prohibitive" price on his head of as much as $600,000 for a one-year deal so Carlton can’t redraft him and he gets to Hawthorn. But doesn’t this mean that Hawthorn would also have to pay him $600,000 (at least for the first year of his contract)? And can Carlton still redraft him and refuse to pay him $600,000 and thereby force him to play for less or stand out of football for a year?
