Trengove and Rocky would be a pretty awesome fallback option while still able to use early picks.

Kelly is a young gun but at the trade price and the contract amounts mentioned I was never that keen.
I have watched him a lot this year and he is the type of player we really need big tank, outside run and uses it well but he us not unique or a once in a generation player.
Lets be honest he doesn't look like a game turner to me his value to us was always going to be his impact on the side not carrying us on his back, he's gaff but he wins his own ball and tackles.
We are young enough to draft our own champions and a free agent or salary dump deal will take care of the cap.
If we get him great if not so what.

Was very surprised to see Stringer at the VFL today given all the media attention of late that he's disgruntled with the club and wants out. Fair to say he was trying to keep a very low profile though. Was always surrounded by teammates as well, possibly so he wouldn't be harassed which would be understandable.

Stringer is a single-handed matchwinner when on song, damn near unstoppable.
Sure he's a Grade A flogzilla, but he's got that something we lack; swagger.

I've wanted all along to keep the 2 picks... think drafting 2 top 10 picks will inject some enthusiasm and ensure our age profile is better spread out and ensure a longer run at the top
If we keep our picks, what is best case at 7/8?

If stringer and jelly both play great games who has more impact, stringer by a mile imho.
Kelly is more likely to turn up and deliver a 25 - 35 game week in week out he's a very good fit for us but he just doesn't excite me watching him play.
I also don't see him coping a hard tag so what does that say about how the opposition view him.

To me, a campaigner is a hard nut. Stringer is as soft as butter.And we also lack 'campaigner' & he's got it in spades
Both would be great in RWB.....

I was reading today that Essendon have also now opened up about wanting jelly. I know they've probably always been keen, but they have openly declared interest now (not that they have the trade currency but anyhow..)
With the ever increasing demand for his services, his wage is rising by the day.
I actually reckon he'd be mad to stay now.
This might be a once in a lifetime chance for him. All the stars have aligned for him right now. Who's to say it'll be the same in 2 years.
Take the money and run

I want to win matches regularly (gun mids) not watch season highlight videos on youtube (stringer)
Who's the smoke screen though?
Also said Jeremey Cameron was coming our way as well
Alas - still feel like something will happen with the Swans and a Tippet salary dump

Brownlow Medallist
And we also lack 'campaigner' & he's got it in spades
And a bit of x-factor.
We've seen his best, just got to help him reclaim it and maybe a fresh start is just what he needs.
Getting a bit dizzy with this on again/ off again Kelly thing so I've decided to just expect nothing till the papers are signed, or not.
....Of course, that all might change with another post from those who really claim to know

Thought you guys might be interested in something Joe Riewoldt tweeted? He wrote "I don't think josh Kelly wants to go to North" Which is interesting given the rumour Nick apparently had a successful phone call with Josh..
If Koby was seen as a good leader to the younger pups at the Kennel the it could work in favour. I'd also make sure someone like Riewoldt was with him every now and again if possible. We've got some good people around the club that can help anyone with issues. Not to say the dogs don't, but a change of scenery could work.

Can't help but think the Saints/Kelly camp are leaking false information to the media to take the pressure off Kelly while he's still active in the finals. Hope so anyway.

Yes stringer doesn't address our need for outside run, but there are some cheap options that I would look at.
If you want a seagull who will come cheap then we could do worse than picking up Hartung. The guy has a huge engine and uses the ball well enough, he trained with the saints and we would be well aware of his abilities.
My first choice was always to hit the draft/free agency and to trade smartly.
