Tim Kelly - Requests Trade to West Coast

[ziad]

What a load of tosh.

We improve by getting Gaff, Sheppard and come Round 16, Nic Nat back

we have them - thats not improving in the big picture. To be more specific we lack teh type opf power kelly would bring to our midfield. We are a bit one paced

What about Yeo and Shuey? Two pretty explosive players right there.

 

[Eaglemaniac]

Kelly would make us very dangerous indeed. Make it so Capt Rawlings..

40% fit Nic Nat is the 3rd best ruck in the league

Love Nic but 100% he is still 3rd. Gawn and Grundy are the complete ruckman. Nic is what he is for us.

If Nic was playing fit in those 2 finals he would have mauled both Gawn and Grundy.

How come WC's 2019 first-rounder isn't being mentioned at all?

RE: the argument about mature age picks.

- Half the players at WAFL level are perennial clubman.
- A quarter of them are justified AFL rejects.

- The rest are made up of the almost good enough, late bloomers and, guys who got lost in the amateurs.

Sure you’ll draft a few at the age of 18 who end up in that second group but the quality of the AFL rejects tends towards dominating state league football if they care enough to apply themselves to the lower league.

75% of players drafted are also very average footballers who have not even excelled at their own age level. Most of the reject drafted players give the game away.

Apparently tom harley said today the swans arent interested in trading their first round for points.

Not sure where to get a first rounder for Kelly. Might have to offer 22 and next years first. Or 20 and 22 by themselves.

 

[joeyavalanche]

If no one wants to take our pick 20 and 22 for a first rounder to give to Geelong they are going to have to just take them for Kelly.

It’s the least they can do for giving us Liam Bedford

He certainly might of given them a touch up at stoppages and bounce downs but around the ground I think Vardy and Lycett are far better equipped to compete which they did. May of been a lot different with Nic trying to run and compete with them around the ground.
Didn’t happen so it doesn’t matter.

Nic Nat fully fit is the best ruckman easy would jump on Gawn/grundys head

Ive been wondering the same thing. Doesn't seem to be doing the rounds in the media at all - would've thought this would go close to getting it done.

McCarthy also signed a contract extension half way through the season with GWS...and then requested a trade at the end of year.

So GWS were obviously fuming about that, considering he just added 2 years to his deal and THEN wanted out.

Would be the same as Kelly signing a deal mid year and then turning around now and saying ‘trade me now...only to West Coast’.

I would expect Geelong have been acutely aware of Kelly’s struggles to adapt to life in Victoria - basically throughout the whole year - considering the continuing dialog and the fact that the club never really shyed away from acknowledging it.

It’s by the by - they just want max value for their guy now.

Your ave is splendid...

 

[avishka5]

Its going to be interesting how our midfield is going to operate next season. Can see Masto making way for Gaff but I can also see Dom Sheed being squeezed out next year so that Kelly can get full wing/on ball minutes and isn't shafted to HFF for large chunks like Redden.

Think at his best Sheed adds to the side. He was one of our better players in the finals and his contested game shone through when it mattered. If he can improve his tank and defensive game, he would be an asset for us.

I actually wouldn't mind seeing Yeo/Kelly/Shuey all rest forward during game as that would probably allow us to play Sheed.

Because it’s the realistic option. We don’t have time for realistic in trade period..

 

[bUCKET__]

Cats fans think it's unprofessional for Kelly's manager to openly criticise Freo as a destination.

But really. What's more unprofessional? This?

“He is not going to Fremantle. I have had players there and I don’t think they are an attractive proposition for him. He will go to West Coast and if he doesn’t he will be playing at Geelong then he will leave the year after,” he said.

Or this?

 

[ghostbat12]

Why isn’t there outrage that Shiel only selected Essendon?

Is it because he is Victorian and that’s ok?

 

[Altum Volantes]

Your ave is splendid...

dis guy?

 

[kerrazy]

20 + 22 overs for Kelly IMO. 20 + 39/Nelson is the way to go or next years first rounder + 39/Nelson.

 

[MWPP]

Why isn’t there outrage that Shiel only selected Essendon?

Or even that Gaff selected North and turned down other Vic teams
I guess rejecting a team for $$$ is acceptable
But other reasons aren’t ?

 

[Bluke]

Yep would be disappointed if we paid 20 and 22. 22 and 39 or Nelson for me.

 

[MWPP]

I would rather just wait a year than give up both 20/22 (or a top 10 pick on its own ). Kelly isn’t worth that much . His value will decrease next year as he’ll be out of contract .

 

[MWPP]

Our club has a history of paying overs and caving though (albeit for players who end up being worth it in retrospect )- so if we do end up giving up 20/22 or a top 10 pick , I won’t be surprised . I’ll be disappointed , but I’ll move on as Vozzo and co. now have a good track record so deserve some credit .

Hmm. Either we got in too late, we want one of the two picks for ourselves, or Geelong cant guarantee 13 alone will do it.
