List Mgmt. Tim Kelly remains a Cat for 2019

[BigCat1]

Maybe winning makes them more prepared to trade. Not as much pressure on outcomes. Any deal should include next years first pick + something this year as there will be this euphoria about them going back to back which is highly unlikely.

If not a super trade why would we make the premier stronger when you don't have to for 12 months.

I'll spew if it's another Caddy type trade.

It won't be. We rate him much more than Caddy.

Nothing over the past 15 years has filled me with that kind of confidence

The question that should be asked here is how they (Weagles) won a premiership with that midfield & how much more Kelly would improve them on exposed form.

If he was to go there, I don't want their next year 1st. He's worth more than many would expect.

Wait and see. The wait will be over soon.

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

West Coast now playing at an MCG sized ground ... if that was a strong contributor to their win then being ruthless alone may not make us a Premiership team again..

but in respect of Kelly .. just how ruthless should we be..

West Coast won due to Shaun Ryan and Collingwood having no marking key forwards and a makeshift key defence. Collingwood's system, their desire and intent and will to work hard for each other almost won them a premiership. I think the ground was irrelevant in this instance. West Coast got lucky and snared one.

If only Geelong were afforded two home finals if they earn that right.

Ruthless?

we will differ on the ground size thing..

He chose to enter the draft knowing he had twins on the way and knowing Geelong had spoken to him and there was a possibility that he could be drafted away from Perth. Now Geelong wouldn't have drafted him if he gave the indication that he'd return home. We gave him a chance and he proved himself. We don't trade him for anything less than a desired outcome otherwise we'll keep showing ourselves to be soft and we'll keep being taken advantage of at the trade table just like we do on the field in finals.

We are now a really soft club and that stings more than the results.

You're right. It's clear that we do. We need a good deal or we should hold onto him for another 12 months.

 

[Baby Duck]

I bet Kelly is reeeally lamenting that West Coast didnt take him first now.

Of course he would be. It's only natural. You or I would do the same thing.

Kelly for Duggan? Classy left-foot half-back from Bacchus Marsh.

 

[Tony Barber]

So gossage said this morning that Kelly will definately be at wc next year.
Said freo were all over him like a cheap suit and that Geelong wanted that option as they'd get more value.

But Kelly has told Geelong it's west coast.

What does that mean? They have something like pick 20 and 21 if gaff leaves.

Yep, that shows I had NFI about us only getting two rounders for him.
Might only be 1 now. (Yes I know wc pick 20 is a first rounder. May as well call it a second).

As a betting man I thought you’d know better than to count your chickens this early.

Not sure how Kelly gets any say if it's 'home sickness' or 'compassionate grounds'

It's Geelong's option this year, or he stays next year. Easy.

Just like criminals do now with their mental illness cards, Kelly will use the compassionate pleas and will be let go for unders.

I'm not counting any chickens.
But being a betting man I would have taken the odds of 2x picks in the early 20's being what he'd go for.

To be honest, this is the part that doesn't sit with me.
If he wants to go home on compassionate grounds then we just have to deal with that.

But if he's forcing us to deal with wc then I just don't think that's right.
Freo is just as close to 'home'.

Freo's closer to Perth than Geelong is to Melbourne, isn't it?

 

[Goggin Our Best]

I think if you are drafted - im assuming they all sign 2 year contacts

Then if that is the case - then unless youve got circumstances like Dayn Beams ( compassionate reasons his father had cancer ) - then there should be a rule that you cant be traded till the end of the 2nd year

This Kelly situation is just a mockery

Yep. Club comes before player.

IF he indeed does want out then bye TK. His heart isn't invested in the GFC, and we want passionate players who'll bleed for the jumper.

 

[STPer18]

And lets not kid ourselves, if Kelly turned out to be just an average plodder and was being dropped to the reserves every few weeks, the Perth teams wouldn't take him back, compassionate grounds or not.

Congratulations Free Agent Tim Kelly in the year 2026

10 points for Catempire and Gryffindor

 

[JackFlash]

Cats were naive in selecting him in the first place. Nothing short of a top 10 pick is required or convince Gaff to choose Geelong. He's off to the Eagles so Geelong must win on this deal, the Eagles had their chance for 5 years and only now do they pounce. Bugger em' and for that matter any compassionate grounds too...A top 10 pick or see you at pre season training!
