Game Day 2024 Trade Period - Lian Yu - that liminal space between trade and draft.

[freo84]

Id take Kelly if he was cheap! We obviously want another mid if we are after Warner. We may not be able to fit it Warner, Bolton and Pickett.

But can we fit in Bolton, Pickett and Kelly into the salary cap?

I'd rather just fit Bolton and Pickett...Tim Kelly had his chance but chose poorly.

 

[Taylor]

Would WC consider pushing him out but paying him? It would be fun if two of our players are being paid by the bottom two teams in the competition to win games for us.

, with the worst retention rate of kicks inside 50? He’s a ball butcher, the worst in the AFL.

In the next 5 years, which years will TK be better than O’Driscoll, Johnson and Erasmus. Not many, if any.

Let the Eagles keep him on the books.

Depends what is meant by cheap...but I don't really want our list team putting any time into and getting distracted from their mission by Kelly. He's a bridge too far. If he falls into our laps somehow, right at the death, for some scraps, then fine.

There's no guarantee any of those 3 get to TKs level.

But recruiting him would feel so much like JOM all over again.

That and as mentioned we need salary space to recruit Warner not to open it up for the Eagles to do the same.

 

[arsesmart]

I would think if Oliver goes Melbourne would need to totally reset their expectations and go for picks.

 

[freocuz]

Not sure what Kelly would bring that others don’t already possess. We don’t exist to save people’s careers or to give them a shot at a flag before they retire, if we did I’d rather we bring Mundy or Pav out of retirement to give them a shot at it.

Sounds like Harley doesn’t like Tim.

I think we need one of the following if we're bringing in another mid tbh:

• Big bodied inside mid to replace Fyfe.
• Mids that can effectively play both inside mid and a second role (either wing or HFF most likely).

Warner is a big upgrade in the second one. I think we'd want a bigger mid than Kelly to replace Fyfe tbh - Kelly is playing like a poor man's Brayshaw except also a one way runner. There's worse mids in the league but he just doesn't fit what we're looking for.

It's an easy gig being a media mouth - just make stuff up and then set it free into the outlet of your choice. Job done.

For a 3rd rounder, on 400k a year for 3 years.

I would consider him on the cheap. Playing him at half forward, and rotating him through the midfield.

The big question marks this year were defensive effort. He would clearly be best 22.

I don’t blame them, we’d want the same thing if we lost a bloke in contract with such significance to our team.

Sure he’s getting on a bit, but pick 13 seems way unders for me.

I would consider him on the cheap. Playing him at half forward, and rotating him through the midfield.

The big question marks this year were defensive effort. He would clearly be best 22.

Getting Kelly cheap would finally be the perfect use of having a two team state. He wants to stay in WA, we don't have to pay overs to get him to travel across the country and he fills a decent need. That being the half forward who can roll up into the midfield. His best role is what he was playing at Geelong, he's not a A-grade full time mid but my god he is an A-grade high half forward.

He kicked 48 goals in two seasons at the Cats playing that role and has kicked 31 in the 5 seasons with the Eagles. I am all for it as long as its on our terms, Eagles don't want him, he doesn't want to stay but he also doesn't want to leave WA.

Yeah, just give him the same role he had at Geelong, and make it a performance based contract, so he needs to work hard.

Pick 3

I expect Weller-level compensation. Nothing less.

 

[mike91]

Adding a nearly finished Kelly with Fyfe, JOM and Walters? Not overly keen. Save the money, regardless how much WCE pay and play Erasmus.

Use that little bit of money we'd be giving to Kelly to add onto Warner contract next season.

 

[Cesoir]

WC would 100% want Erasmus.

Wantin' ain't gittin'

 

[DragoDelph]

No one wanted him. Please talk to us.

 

[Dirty_banchez]

This is just Kelly's manager angling for another contract from WCE. He's not going interstate with his kids and Fremantle probably told his manager they'd "call him back", but never got around to it.
