List Mgmt. Tim Kelly remains a Cat for 2019

[thegerman]

Was there any further substance to the rumour we'll hear about Kelly's future shortly after the Carji?

Nope but that would be nice. I'd expect the club would have asked or at least given a date to know by. It would be unfair to give him room, for him to use that to only request a trade on opening of trade week.

I'm totally anticipating him to request a trade. His family, given what I've heard about the needs of one of his kids, they need family support. Which is just not here.

Just how this will play out, is another thing.

Contracts don't mean anything. If a player tells Geelong they want out, a deal will get done. Look at Caddy.

Agree about the worth of contracts. But bear in mind that we weren't fussed whether Caddy stayed or left. Not comparing apples with apples.

Maths people, did they choose 3000 because at the opposite end of the scale (Pick 99 or whatever) they need a whole number (of reasonable value) for points, given the logarithmic nature of the system?

I'm not much of a maths person - but I find it interesting all the same.

The scale isn’t important. It’s how everything else sits relative to 3000 that matters.

Riveting shit this.

I’ve got plenty more mate if you’re enjoying it so much

Ah, gotcha.

Thats right. I’m guessing that pick 74 is the first pick with zero point value due to the average maximum historical draft length.
The 3000 is only important as it influences the steepness of the curve, but yeah it’s all relative.

Caddy wasn't, isn't and never will be as valuable a commodity as TK is going into this trade period.

One is proven to be capable of playing AFL as an elite midfielder in their young 20s. The other has demonstrably proven time and again the he is incapable of this.

Please give me a break.... you win the “dribble of the day” with that it’ll be a second round pick piece... Geez Louise...

Dribble of the day? Is that some kind of basketball award?

Geelong would never do that. It'll be a second rounder and maybe Geelong downgrades a later pick to even it up for the other club.

We won't see any more success at Geelong until we start getting ruthless.

 

[you pick one]

Kelly for Ruthless and their next year second rounder.

Gossage has always been a goose.

If that were to be the case then I hope we have discussed Gaff. For the Eagles to trade Gaff for Kelly means they'll get more than compensation would provide. Backload Gaffs contract to make it work. Otherwise you get 20 and 22 or something like that for TK and try and trade into the top 10.

I agree re Gaff. AFL also 'create' a compo pick that gives currency to them and us. Eg Gaff to us FA not matched, they get 20 compo and trade that for Kelly, we get 20 and Gaff for Kelly and they get a straight swap. Or let them trade 20 and 22 to Sydney for 12 or whatever don't put the burden on us to try and trade into the top 10, WCE should do that for us if they really want Kelly.

Spot on. Plus the $$$ that Gaff would command is pretty much what TK will eventually get. Once Selwood, Danger ect aee moved on there has to be room to pay someone some dollars. Getting Gaff puts us bang smack in premiership made once again.

Please learn the word, it's drivel. Dribble is what old people and babies do.

And being half time Grand Final Day, most Australian males too (not yet for myself but dribbling is getting closer as each drink empties).

 

[Footy_Fan2007]

Straight swap Kelly for Shuey. Absolute gun

 

[Burtyl78]

He can choose WC. after he finishes his contract n next year

GO Catters

Thanks mate.

Why would I be pissed off if Kelly nominated West Coast now. .
