What They're Saying: Elise Kellond-Knight

“I was put on a discovery list without me knowing, without my manager knowing, without anyone knowing really. And then when I tried to enter the league and sign a contract I was prevented from doing so, because I was on a discovery list with another team. It seems a bit strange, but that’s how they run the league. It ended up being a messy circumstance. It’s a lesson I’ve learnt. It’s a lesson that Australians have learnt within the team.”
