Tim Kelly - Requests Trade to West Coast

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Mind you players always nominate a club. I can't think of any who just said trade me to my home state

There is 10 clubs in victoria but when interstate teams lose players its always 1 club to deal with . Why the **** should vic teams get it any other way

Jesus hows the whack to Freo by his manager - raises a few questions about the culture at the purples if a manager (who in the future may have a Freo player) is bad mouthing them lol

Hopefully we get the deal done - surely Geelong will play hard ball, act like they will trade him with Freo (to up his value) then agree to the deal with us in the last few hours of the trade period.

Surely given his family situation and the fact he wants out they will do the deal but not without the prerequisite posturing (he will be on our list in 2019, 2 x top 10's or bust, we will trade him to the highest bidder...) for a week or so.

Where does Kelly, Shepperd, and Gaff fit into this team ?

Being brutal.

Schofield, Venners and Masten out. Possibly Venners over Lecca.

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

Don’t hate on the club or player mate, we can only play by the rules and that is what Geelong did.

Sure but dont go around saying that you pulled him out of obscurity. There were about 5 clubs keen on him and you just went the earliest.

It would be hilarious if we have a stale mate all trade period then freo swoop in with pick 10ish right at then end

Then kelly stays at geelong

I wondered if Port would try to bundle up 9/10 to get even higher in the draft
But assuming they don’t try and do that , pick 10 should be gettable

Tell the campaigners that WC will match Lycett's offer

A big back ended 5 year deal for TK.

Pretty clear that Geelong are willing to trade Kelly since they want Freo to make an offer as they are unhappy about what we can offer, but maybe they've forgotten how trades work in the AFL. You need the player's consent.
Some clubs have tried to persuade their players join to a club of their choosing in the past, but different situation to Kelly's (e.g. JK as part of the Judd trade, Hooker to WC as part of 3 way trade to get Brown to the Saints). Although in the end the player gets the final say.

Curious situation with Kelly though since it seems to be his manager that has persuaded him not to go to Freo. I wonder if he would've been open to it without his manager's advice. Anybody know which team he actually supported?

Masten, Lecras and Hutchings/Schofield/Venables come out.

Lecras - Kelly. Schoey - Shep. Masten - Gaff

Lecras, Schofield and Masten out.

Being brutal. Schofield, Venners and Masten out. Possibly Venners over Lecca

LeCras, Schofield, Masten.

Its a pretty unanimous decision here, with LeCras, Schofield and Masten being the recurring theme. The team list is definitely looking very healthy right now if we are looking at dropping these guys.

Honestly hope LeCras calls it quits to avoid taking Vennables spot.

Schoey may initially face a up hill battle with Tom Cole for a spot but I think youth will ultimately prevail. Schoey was just so good in the grand final tragic days indeed if he cant find a spot in the team.

Masten has 'played his role' and got a premiership medal so cant complain with that.

I just hope by the end of the 2020 season we make some more room for our other up and coming young guns else Im sure they will start pulling Kelly's.

There's no battle, the spot is Cole's

Didn't say anything about Lecras quitting. He can gradually fade out throught the year. Still think he has something to offer.

Schofield and Masten will definately play some games.

Schofield can easily play. As can a fit LeCras. Schofield definitely underrated as a shutdown defender. LeCras early form before being forced up the ground was excellent. Masten played his role.

Bit of rearranging but LeCras,Masten and Schofield move aside

 

[archiemoses]

Our future first could be in 12-18 range so that should be sufficient to get Kelly done

Honestly don't have a issue with 20 + Lycett compo pick (21).

Suspect it will be something around that.

 

[its_dave]

Kelly will be an Eagle next year you can rest assured of that and will be running around in jumper # 11 .

Our recruiting guys have been into him for a long while.

He has nominated us as his only choice.

Lets look at our history , when we have had players come out and nominate us as their only destination, it has been done on the back of us telling them that we are committed to getting it done.

Redden, Jetta, Yeo.

Pretty simple join the dots we chase you ...... you commit ....... we get a deal done.

The doddle brains on here will bitch and moan that we have paid way to much, gave to much away

greatwhiteshark will have a hard on because we have given numerous draft picks away ( and we all know how much he hates draft picks ) so he wont have to support auskickers.

The recruiting team deliver the goods to Simpson.

All are happy and all is well everywhere ................ except big footy.

Fast forward :

End of round three 2019 season Kelly has kicked a total of 8 goals in his three games and averaged 26 possession...... the West Coast Big Footy consensus raves about what a f****** bargain we got and hang shit of The Handbagers for capitulating at the trade table.

Thats how it works folks ..... so strap your self in and enjoy the show ..... oh and do't be distracted by the side show , otherwise known as the trade period.

You sure?

That values him around pick 6, too high imo. I think Geelong will end up doing something like next years first and our second this year for him.

 

[omgfridge]

Can we all stop instantly dropping Masten also. Guys just had a career best year.

Who would you drop from the GF side to fit Gaff, Shep and Kelly in?

Shep for my boy Schoey (amazing depth)
Kelly for Lecca not that we know either of these 2 are doing yet.

Gaffs not in rnd 1 or 2.

Least performing player of those rounds. I'd say Masten offers more than Venables right now.

With Gaff back, Cripps spends more time fwd also.

Maybe we even go 1 ruck but I do doubt that. I just think people are underselling Masten's great link up play season.

Points wise it's the same but do you think many clubs would trade pick 6 for 20 and 21?

I don't want to give up next years first because we gave up this eyars first. Makes us very inflexible future pick wise for a couple of years.

The draft index is not a true evaluation though. I think 2 early 20 picks is slightly on the generous side though. We picked up Allen and Ryan last year for similar picks.
