Good luck to Tim Kelly on his retun to WA, but this whole fiasco is the fault of the two WA clubs who were "smartarses" during the draft of 2017. Geelong picked him in good faith, they invested everything into him and gave him the chance to play AFL footy at the highest level that both West Coast and Freo failed to deliver. (5 times i might add) I find it strange that this announcement comes three days out from a final series though? Picks 17 and 23 will not get the deal done and Geelong will not budge on last year''s requirements of a top 10 pick. Somehow the Eagles will have to find a top 10 pick and another first rounder. Kelly is now AA and who knows what else comes his way in this finals series oreve a high Brownlow placing. his stocks have risen considerably. This will once again be a s**t fight now that he has declared the Dockers a rabble and West Coast cannot possibly make a deal unless they sacrifice a helluva lot more than 17 & 23! It will get ugly!
From a West Coast perspective we were very keen on Kelly but when Oscar Allen slid the club selected him probably thinking the fact that Kelly had 3 very young kids would be a huge flight risk for non WA clubs which has been the case.

We will trade what is a fair price given he will be out of contract because we are a fairly conservative club trade wise who hasn't in the past taken advantage of other clubs or overpaid to land the big recruit.

Sorry but no, may Chuck our 2020 3rd round pick to you.

You may not like reality but that is massive overs already

In the end i hope Tim goes to Freo for free in the draft if Geelong show no heart again. Hopefully other clubs remember this after Adelaide helped Dangerfield to Geelong

Lol helped Dangerfield to Geelong.... they were the first club to force a trade on a restricted free agent, hardly helped. That really isn't overs, you guys (due to your success) don't have very attractive picks, so you will need to use future picks.

14&22 will do if Tim chooses us

You may get Freo's pick for Chris Mayne if Tim names them

Otherwise he goes to Freo for free in the draft

Assuming we win this week and then get knocked out in week 2.

14 + 22 for Kelly. We may throw next years first in there too but we'd want a future second back.

We're in our window, I dont mind paying overs, he may help us win another flag next year.
Can definitely see a pick or two going with Kelly if it's 14+22+F1st. It's slightly better than where negotiations finished probably reflecting a better offer to and a better season from Tim.
 
Good stuff Timmy
May you have a successful career in the West
What is it with hawks fans enjoy seeing Geelong suffer? You especially!

You cant let go of that infamous Clarko sack watch thread.

The obsession of Geelong fans staring at Clarkos hairy nut sack! ;)


No, but Geelong bent David Noble over a barrel with that deal.

Danger was worth 2 firsts. He was the best or 2nd best player in the competition.
My thoughts excactly. Had crows just took the compo pick, it would of been based where they finished on the ladder. In the top 6 which was pick 13 or 14.

If you look at the Dangerfield Trade(s)

Crows traded Patrick Dangerfield and pick 50 to geelong. Cats traded Dean Gore, pick 9 and 26.

Geelong won that trade.

dean gore lasted 2 years on the crows list and played 0 games. That pick 26 was packaged with sam kerridge to carlton for Troy Menzel.

That crows 1st rounder they got in the dangerfield trade was used to get Wayne Milera.


If I were Tim Kelly's manager I'd be threatening to walk him to the draft so that Geelong gets nothing. No Victorian team would risk picking him up if he issues a statement saying he's willing to sit out a year rather than play football outside WA. Freo could then grab him with pick 6 in the pre-season draft.

How fitting Geelong that should be unrewarded for selfishly keeping him away from home when West Coast made a perfectly reasonable offer for him last year.
It would be bad on both Tim Kelly and his Manager if they do that. West coast will pay unders.

Geelong should get something out of this deal, they deserve it. Expecially considering they took the chance on tim Kelly.
 
His body language says otherwise.
Good football player, terrible liar.

Also gotta shake my head at the nerve of the interviewer for asking "is being asked this question annoying?", would've loved it if Tim had've said "maybe, is being punched in the face painful?" right before decking him.
