So Kelly has no say in his destination then? He will just move to where Geelong chooses?
Or has something else 'gone over my head as expected'?

Oh, I agree. The reality is Kelly is a top-flight player but where Freo are at I think they would prefer to have a crack at 2 kids who could turn into 200 game players. The 2 first rounders they pick will be turning 23, and hitting their golden years, in the same year Kelly turns 30.
Sure, Freo may swing and miss with the picks, but for every Mitch Thorp and Beau Dowler, you get a chance at a Franklin or Roughead. One thing is for certain, they can't draft the next superstar if Geelong have their picks.
Are you sure about the main draft?
Every 3rd post in here talks about the threat of him just entering the draft. Now he can't re-enter the main draft if a trade falls through?
**** me, I didn't expect that!
Why, no team will be stupid enough to trade down, everyone knows pick 6 is just like pick 14...
Not really. He made the squad and has been a highly rated player in the West for years. If he had of played in Victoria the Vic centric media would have had him as an AA.
Neale making the AA side this year isn't a surprise imo. He's been a bloody good player for years. Won more Derby bog medals than any other player I recall.....at least recently.
Maybe Freo should trade out Fyfe and Walters then. They'll be old useless campaigners when this years draftees enter their 'golden years'!

Final list lodgement is in November, after all 3 drafts (is PSD is held) have taken place. The trade period ends in October.
If Kelly has not re-signed with Geelong at the conclusion of the trade period he can enter the draft.
If Kelly doesn't re-sign with Geelong prior to the end of November and doesn't enter the draft then he won't be on an AFL list in 2020.

That's what recruiters are saying for this years draft.
Last year was different and next years will be different again.
Hence why several teams with top 10 picks 3-10 are looking to trade up for multiple picks later in the 1st / early 2nd rounds. Especially club's rebuilding / and or trading in.

Kelly is only 25, he will be around a while.
Freo have just lost Sandilands and Ballantyne and will eventually lose Mundy. Langdon and Hill are potentially on the way out.
There is the cap floor to consider. If Freo don't think they are contending for a couple of years they don't need Kelly, but they do need to pay someone.

They do. Contract dates and the draft/trade/FA period mesh together.
If contracts ended Dec 31 then every out of contract player after the list lodgement date would be ****ed.

I'm sure the AA Captain will take one for the team and accept a few more dollars... you know... for the club's sake.
Hey I'll come down and pull the boots on if you really need. Average wage is about $350k now, I'll even play for under that.
Better not. You'd put Taberner out of work.Hey I'll come down and pull the boots on if you really need. Average wage is about $350k now, I'll even play for under that.
Problem with SPP is his kicking is horrendous & Freo should actually be looking for skilled kickers.

Tim Kelly advice to Marion Pickett , AFL is easier to play at then the WAFL ....better players around you .
This is a bit of a red flag for Freo and West Coast ...Kelly has Dangerfield , Duncan , Selwood , Ablett playing alongside him which has helped a lot . Collingwood are another team with a deep midfield , WCE we lack depth as do Freo . Kelly will help his workload will be greater though , reason why Freo or WCE won't overpay .

Has an AA player from that season ever requested a trade before?

Shuey, Yeo, Gaff, Redden plus NN. We run a lot deeper than the old narrative suggests.
