Scott Welsh deal stalemate

TROUBLED forward Scott Welsh is in dispute with Adelaide.
The club's leading goalkicker in 2007, Welsh has reached a "stalemate" on a new contract offer from the Crows and is exploring his options.
"Negotiations on a new contract for Scott have broken down," Crows football operations manager John Reid said.
"We want him to stay and have offered him a deal but at this stage he's not happy with that and we're at an impasse."
Reid said out-of-contract Welsh had been offered a new one-year deal, but wanted a second year if he achieved several incentives.
The Crows are refusing to budge, given the 28-year-old was at the centre of a police report by an 18-year-old woman outside a nightclub in September.
It is believed Welsh is sounding out Victorian clubs and could enter the pre-season draft.
Melbourne is believed to be interested in talking to him.
