Au Contraire, hes tailor made for the Whipping boy roleTim Kelly couldn't play the role JOM is playing for us.
I’m satisfied with Daniels quick response and equally happy with the quick and emphatic response from his player manager putting any rumours to bed. I heard Anthony Van Der Wielen rather strongly kill this first thing this morning whilst I was as driving to work. Stating that Kelly has no intention of leaving.
Freo have committed to Erasmus, NOD and Johnson. You also have JOM and Fyfe. We’re trying to get rid of Brodie and every chance he stays. We are tight on list spots. Not going to happen. Not with Freo.
I do sorta feel like we are getting to that point with the talent on our list that we are inevitably gonna lose talent in 2-5 years' time. Especially bringing in Bolton and Warner and/or Kozzie. I know Cox and Darcy are tied up long term (and I'm not at all keen to trade them) but wouldn't be surprised to see one of them or a Ryan or Brayshaw kind finish their career elsewhere after 2027-2028.
No we don't "all know it". In fact I think it's a somewhat bizarre take. He was a valued member of an elite performing midfield. We actually need more options, not less.Fyfe should retire. He is a champ of the game who went downhill fast. He struggled with handballing by the end of season. He is taking Erasmus spot in the team or even the potential experiment of Nod in there.
No one wants to talk about it but he should be pushed to retire. We all know it.
Doesn’t run both ways and has horrendous skills now. Looks a shadow of his former self even on the eye looks like he has less drive to win. He will be a year older and slower next year, hope he’s prepared to drive down to Mandurah.No we don't "all know it". In fact I think it's a somewhat bizarre take.

If Andrew Brayshaw is getting offers near $1.5m and they want to get him on board this year, the year before he is a free agent, then it seems crazy to me that they'd pay the absolute ransom Freo will want for him.
That news wouldn't want to come out until all the other deals are done so that the #7 and #8 from St Kilda don't end up in those other deals simply because we have them available.
It's very likely he'll be managed through this year. But there'll be plenty of room for more O'Driscoll inside mid time, a la last two rounds. Hopefully there'll be Fyfe as player-coach for the up and comers, like NOD and Erasmus, to benefit from.Doesn’t run both ways and has horrendous skills now.

IF Pickett is available we should be choosing him over over Warner. The cost of bringing in Warner (cap and picks) can blow up in our face, not to mention he isn't even guaranteed to come to Freo and could change his mind. A rational organisation in this circumstance would choose Pickett, regardless of any guarantees made. Our list is so close to contending. It's taken years to get here and I don't want to piss it away on one player.Yeah, I've made my thoughts known but without knowing all details, not sure I'm ready for "special in the head" haha. I would say if we aren't bringing Pickett in then they'd sure as shit better not miss on Warner and you'd want a deal all but signed.

Norf going after a washed up Luke Parker is such a Norf move. The money would have to be massive overs for a 32 year old for him to want to head there.
The Kelly talk smacks of his management trying to put subtle pressure on WC to start talks on an extended contract. Not saying in some world it’s impossible but that’s how I read it. Management 101.
If we are hiring Angus Brayshaw for a footy department role then we'd want to sign Andrew before that happens so the AFL don't start thinking the two are linked.
Teams have to pay 90% of the cap? If your list is terrible you might as well have a couple of 30 year olds on 500k who set standards in the gym, on the track, etc.

Or you could spend it on bringing in decent players worth the money? Not that I’m complaining
Is it good or bad that nothing solid has come out about Kozzi by now?
I think we need to get to the point where our list is good enough that players we would like to keep are getting forced out. That would be a sure sign we are on the right track talent wise.
Of course. He's ready to explode.WC would 100% want Erasmus.
It's not good but it means nothing. I think if we hear nothing by start of next week then it's cooked (as was always the most likely).Is it good or bad that nothing solid has come out about Kozzi by now?

I would have thought before is better.Good. If the news is going to drop, it’ll drop after Bolton is secured.
