RICHMOND defender Andrew Kellaway's AFL future hangs in the balance after coach Terry Wallace said he had given the gutsy backman no promises that he would play next season.
"We've had a conversation and I said I couldn't guarantee him a contract for next season and we needed to see how things pan out," Wallace said yesterday.
"He just sort of said he needs to speak to his management about where his future lies."
Kellaway, the 2000 best-and-fairest winner who earned All-Australian honours the same year, was named as emergency for today's match against West Coast. He has not played since straining a hamstring while surfing more than a month ago. Andrew Krakouer is struggling with an ankle injury but even if he is a late withdrawal Kellaway is no certainty to play.
"I'm not sure even where Andy's (Kellaway) at, I mean Andy hasn't played for five weeks," Wallace said. "He's got through his training sessions but (I don't know) whether he's been able to get to full-steam training. Until I go in and speak to the medical staff and speak to him as well, I don't know whether he will be putting his hand up to play if there was a change."
