Keeping Gaff and grabbing Hickey was all ready a win for us.

Keeping Gaff outweighs every single best case trade scenario we could've done imo. 99.0% of the footy world thought he was gone

 

[GoldenEagle]

Why haven’t we tried pick 22 and next years first rounder? Least we can keep 20 for this year

Not that i think it would happen but.... If we have a premiership hangover that could leave them with a top 10 pick next year

 

[Dark Sharks]

Ima take a nap yall, wake me when Vozzo has told Geelong to **** off already.

 

[mitchzz]

Man, feel for Kelly and his family. What a shitty club Geelong are

 

[Sw3Et]

I'd rather keep the picks. We know we can win without Kelly.

So Geelong decided to be absolute campaigners and now have a player who doesn’t want to be there, have potentially broken up a family and have missed out on 3 top 25 picks.

Nice.

 

[Wosh]

I love how these campaigners on trade radio keep saying we’ve failed to get the trade done when we’ve offered more than enough, it’s just that the Pussies are being a bunch of unreasonable assholes.

So much this, anyone who blames us for not getting this done is talking arsehats.

"West Coast are still well and truly in the mix (for Tim Kelly). It's up to Geelong to accept what the Eagles have offered. They're still brokering the Tim Kelly possibilities."

Barrett, explaining how trades work 30 minutes before the deadline.

 

[tigger_ferret]

Wow. I thought 20 and 22 in this draft was a fair deal. I loved Tim Kelly at the Cats this year, but he needs to go home. If Kelly is at Geelong in 2019 I will be disappointed in the Cats.

You’re only saying that cause you don’t wanna eat a bag full.

Anyway nice to see some Cats fans being reasonable

 

[dewcefault]

Issue is our team is trying to give more and more to the Cats to get the deal done

As anyone who has negotiated with a 5yr old knows giving in doesn't work because they'll just keep asking for more. Really worried this deal gets done for 20,22+2019 2nd rounder... or even more - which is insane

I feel like the club is doing it out of obligation as much as a talented player being available.

 

[Sw3Et]

This is like trying to make a trade in 2k when the A.I trade logic is turned right down.

 

[Eagle Wrath]

Eagles are back talking to Geelong. We keep trying. Pretty sure we will get him. What will be the price though?

 

[Bacchus]

Reckon it’s a bit of both. We really have no obligation to Kelly.

We do have a moral obligation if we have been making promises to him during the year. We don't have an obligation to pay an unreasonable price which it looks like it may be coming down to. Bad news that Wells is so hard to deal with. I am sure this will be remembered.

 

[Balls In]

Geelong with unprecidented levels of "because Victoria" high moral ground projection. Even Victorian clubs know they are being pricks. Absolute pricks. Pricks in garlic and butter chowed down with relish. Pricks.

 

[Wosh]

Ima take a nap yall, wake me when Vozzo has told Geelong to **** off already.

Servers are shot anyway

 

[twce13]

I got a horrible feeling we're gonna pay way overs.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

Why haven’t we tried pick 22 and next years first rounder? Least we can keep 20 for this year

Who knows what we've tried. I'm sure they haven't put one or two offers out then stood back and waited two weeks. Sounds like Geelong isn't joining the party on what we have to offer, so I'm sure they've tried everything within reason. Geelong aint playing ball.

 

[Free Agent]

rumour is West coast and Geelong list managers went backstage to sort it out and one of our staff yelled out bag of dicks causing a huge brawl between the two clubs. Police have been called on the scene to calm the situation.

 

[ziad]

I know a family with young twins. It is massive and they get by with plenty of hands on family support.

I know another family with an autistic child. It is an even bigger burden.

To have both!!!
This must be very distressung for the kelly family. Fingers down the throat next time some AFL loser talks about how the support each other.

 

[kerrazy]

I'm worried that our family friends flags motto will be the death of us. They know Tim has a family and they don't want to see Geelong **** it up.

I feel/fear we will cave in.

 

[HoneyBadger35]

"West Coast have amended their offer. It may still not be enough. All three offers (Kelly, Beams, Shiel) still have a chance to go the way the players will want them to go."

Speculation on speculation on speculation.

I am tempering next year's draft picks with the Keeping Gaff and McGovern . This Is worth anything we pay for Kelly. Even if it includes our 1st Pick next year
