I remembering him getting sent to Rocky one game and keeping him quiet. At the end of his first year he spent a bit of WAFL time in the middle and racked up the ball, don't think it was in a defensive capacity though. Club mustn't see that as where his strengths lie though, nothing like that recently.
Dont forget the most important award of all. The McClelland Trophy. It really should replace the Premiership cup, dont you know. Cause its so much harder to win. Such prestige.
If
they should come out and say they want Mutimer.
So near ...

Wait till you have a go at the main board..
Can they fit him in their salary cap? 7million is a lot.
Lol, on my way
Ryan Daniels on 7 Sport saying Nelson " could " be part of a trade , Ryan is very good but we started that rumour right here !!
Logical trade IF he wants to go home , Nelson can play was a little unlucky being squeezed out of the team .

Noooooooo
Pleeeeeeeeeease
It's amusing that Geelong fans don't think the Cats have placed a foot wrong, despite that fact that they have a player who wants to leave after just one season. I've read a lot of Cats fans write that Kelly gave them a decent indication he wouldn't mind playing there, but the proof is in the pudding to a degree. To me, Geelong have missed on a draft pick - it doesn't matter that TK is a good player, it means nought if he doesn't want to play for you.
To that end, what doesn't sit well with me is that Geelong don't just want to be made whole after a drafting error - they want a premium. If the shoe was on the other foot, we'd be trading away our homesick youngster for cents on the dollar and chalking it up as a missed pick. To a large degree this happened with Ebert.
I also hope our recruiters are happier to walk away from this trade than our fans seem to be. TK will be on our list eventually and if he's not here in 2019 he can take a spot on Geelong's list and develop there, while we use the extra slot to take a look at another youngster. It doesn't hurt to have TK on loan, as such.
Finally, I kind of wonder if Kelly is just the flavour of the year. Yes, he's had one good season, but if you go back 12 months, SPP was the guy we missed out on and we had to do whatever it takes to erase that error. 12 months later and SPP isn't on our radar.
As much as Geelong fans would like Kelly to stay for 12 months in the hope that he changes his mind in that time, we might be better served waiting 12 months to see if his value holds. Maybe in a year he's not such a priority.

Geelong want him for one more year because they still believe they can win a flag before their best retire

Also the fact that they have a top 2 B and F player sitting on rookie salary for another year. They’ll let him go without a fight as soon as the 2019 trade period opens
Scully signed in for 500k apparently to keep GWS together and Hawks offered more. Wingard wanted 1m, can't imagine he'd drop to 600k!
Exactly that proposition has been made on Melbourne radio a number of time by Dwayne Russell a resident of Sleepy Hollow.

Bradd Dalziell played the final 7 games of his debut season, averaging 26 touches a game. The following year he played 8 games, his output was reduced and that was the end of his time with the Lions. Barely got a game with us over a 4 year period and never reached the heights of his first season.
Byron Schammer polled 12 Brownlow votes in his second season with the Dockers, 1 behind Paul Hasleby who was their #1 that year. He polled in 3 further games in the next 7 years.
Des Headland polled 16 Brownlow votes in his 3rd season. 19 touches a game (equivalent to low to mid 20s in today's footy) and 34 goals for the year. Was not even 5th banana in that midfield and moved to Freo. He was OK for a season or two with Freo then his career just sort of petered out into nothing.
If you want to go further back...
Craig Turley aged 26 (3rd season) was runner up in the Brownlow, B&F winner in a dominant side and AA. Was 9th in the B&F in 1992 then didn't do a great deal after that.
Tim Kelly isn't a sure thing. He could replicate his 2018 form for 5 years, he could get better with more time in the AFL system, and he could drop off.

If Nelson goes who can move to defence? Leaves us with no depth. Not that Kelly isn’t worth it.
Edit: small/medium defenders

Scully being up for trade seems to have come out of nowhere.
I bet Wingard stays and plays a blinder of a year, then goes back to going through the motions from 2020.

Sheppard Barrass Cole
Hurn McGovern Duggan
Schofield, Mr 23rd man
Jetta, floats around spots in the 22
Yeo, AA HB we prefer not to use there
Could easily try one of our young forwards in defence (Brander/Allen) or play Venables there to get him a bit more involved a la Duggan who was battling as a mid.

Schofield is defensive depth (replaced Sheppard), Oscar Allen can play defense, and we still have Francis Watson. Not sure if Rotham can play small or not.

I suppose we have 5 good small/medium defenders. 2 are old. After that it’s Watson or Rotham. Or get someone to change position.
It’s not much depth for smaller defenders. For talls we are laughing. But we would make do for a year and then recruit one if we needed.

I think we'll be looking to recruit a smaller running defender or two in the draft this year or next year.
