I don't think many players drafted interstate would be torn leaving behind their mates of three or four years to come home.

Awesome result .
Surely we would have to use both 1st rounders 2017 and possibly 2018 1st as well ?
Having said that ....if both players said yes , you would do the deal in a heartbeat.

If we nabbed Kelly and Fyfe the happiest guy on our list would likely be .......... Jack Steven

I meant $1M +.
The cap increase alone will account for one of the wages in itself. (If it ever eventuates).

Closely followed by McCartin
2008 Hawks - JPK was behind Hodge, Lewis, SMitchell, Sewell, Bateman & Ellis
Handy blokes keeping him out
I'm not sure whats the go at the North board. We seem to be just cheering the fact that our club are going hard at an excellent player, with the occasional friendly jab at Norf. From their end, it is almost entirely juvenile vitriol and paranoia that other teams are going after him.

They have been rebuffed by every mid they've targeted, I'm not surprised.
Meanwhile with the exception of laverde, we've landed every player we've set our sights on lately.
I had a quick squizz on their board and I have to applaud them on their ability to make every single bit of news surrounding Kelly as a sign that he is going to them or part of a larger media conspiracy, where the media is doing everything in their power to stop Kelly moving to North.
Be careful not to go down the bigfooty rabbit hole...

On the race for Kelly:
North got out of the blocks early and were in front most of the way. Then, when it got to the business end, they conceded the lead.
Sounds familiar enough...

I know this is a trade target's thread but personally I'd rather concentrate on us winning a few games this year instead of looking forward to the off-season FFS. If we fizzle out this year then money alone won't bring the likes of Kelly, Fyfe or Martin to the Saints. They'll want to see a team assured of finals footy in 2018. Let's get the job done this year first.
And the old ruck chestnut rears its head again. What will those already shipping Hickey out next year say in a few weeks when he's back in the team and Longer's running around at Sandy where he's best suited ?

North have set their sites on Pittard now... Why in their first year of a rebuild are they looking to bring in a 26 year old hbf? T

Because the whole thing a desperate attempt to grab hold of something (anything) that they think will slow their decent off the cliff they have already, and irreversibly, begun to fall off.

Hickey was dropped because he was playing like trash while Longer has just played one of the best games of his career (at AFL where he's best suited).
A poor mans Macka.
They are hilariously sad. Really relevance deprivation syndrome in full view.
Their insecurities and paronia is legion.
Really if we dont get Kelly, I will be disappointed but move on, like with Sloane and Sheil etc.
They are really a bit pathetic.

Said it on the weekend we beat the Giants at Etihad... I happened to be at the game with a relative of the Kelly family and the quote to me was "he absolutely wants to come back to Victoria and is every chance to be at the Saints.."
From what I'm lead to believe we did a lot of work on Josh in his draft year and spent considerable time with him and his family. There's a pretty solid relationship that's been built up and I believe we also tried quite hard to trade up to pick 2 in his draft year to select him.
Not claiming to be an ITK, but I'll back the source to be accurate.

If we did somehow manage to convince kelly to come to us. I'd have no hesitation in dealing with it in the same manner as geelong did with danger. Just give up the Hawks picks and next year's first and move on. Get it done quick. Keep GWS happy.
I think on such a sort after target like Kelly you want everything going your way. Let it be known to GWS and Kelly's manager our intention is to not **** around on the deal or make it messy. We know he will cost alot and we are prepared to pay. We want GWS to be in our corner and know they'll be well looked after compared to any other rival club.
Kelly for two first rounders regardless of where they fall would still be an absolute steal and it means we don't have to develop talent for the next 3 years before they fire. Saves us time.

If you can't see why that's the case then lord help you.
It has nothing to do with the player being traded in on big coin it's just purely based on probability
Only 1 club can win a flag in any given year, usually you have clubs win more than 1 in their window so that further reduces the number of clubs that will win one and therefore meet your initial criteria
Added to that players don't all go to a couple of clubs that are in contention and the most likely to win a flag, they're traded across all 18 clubs. Thus you will always have more players traded to clubs that don't win a flag than to clubs that will win one.
And less Eagles/Dockers
