Your understanding of kelly is wrong. Geelong wasnt the only one willing to give him a try this year. He would of gone to a heap of clubs if we didnt take him at the high pick we did. He stared in the wafl last year after doing very little before. There is zero chance he would not be playing afl if geelong didnt take him. And geelong refused to punt om him earlier in his career as well. Lets not pretend we tried to help him out. We took him only when we were certain he would contribute.
There is a big difference between danger and kelly. Kelly has 3 infant kids and at the time danger had none.
WCE and Freo both had 2 picks before Geelong in last years draft as well as any other number of clubs.
The big difference between Danger and Kelly is the service that Danger gave Adelaide. Kelly knew there was a very large risk of having to leave WA, kids or no kids.
