Traded Tim Kelly [traded with #57 and future 3rd to West Coast for #14, #24, #33 and future 1st]

[pantskyle]

No he didnt become an uncontracted player. He had to end up at either geelong or adelaide. An uncontracted player can end up at any club in the competition.

He essentially was an uncontracted player, you traded for him because Adelaide informed Geelong they would match the bid and force a trade regardless. And if it got to that point and a trade wasn't done he would have ended up in the draft.

Last years offer was two picks in the twenties. He will get much better this year. Pick 14 is already a certainty (if its west coast).

I think he was saying this years draft is crap

But pick 14 and 24 is better than last years offer in my opinion even though last years draft was strong

The RFA wasn't activated we didn't match anything our contract with Danger was complete he was uncontracted and Adelaide traded with you, no different to kelly when your contract finishes you are uncontracted

The RFA would of been activated if adelaide wasnt going to accept a low ball offer on day 1.

Dont try and explain how an RFA works to a Geelong supporter they arent up with it

If it was activated and Danger didn't want to stay, he goes in the draft or we trade him

You do understand this

Genuine question - Do you still think there is bad blood because of the 92 & 94 result?

No

 

[Bucking Beads]

Unlucky for Geelong on this one but they'll need to get realistic with their request of compensation for the loss of Kelly. I'd say a top 10 pick plus a second rounder plus a fringe player should get the job done. In a perfect work Kelly would choose the Dockers and getting better picks would be easier.

No one has any idea about that. Plenty of drafts people thought would be great became duds and vice versa.

Problem with the perfect world is West Coast only have pick 14 and 24 and next years futures

There has been attempts at strong arming via the Vic media to get him to consider Fremantle.

Fremantle posters seem pretty certain they would not part with a top 10 pick either.

 

[Two Planks]

No way adelaide has said that, stop making things up

Trade Radio are saying consistently that all of Melbourne, Adelaide and St Kilda are looking to split their picks 3, 4 and 5. It was said again this morning with Cal Twomey.

Not making anything up.

If it's wrong, just ring them up and tell them. But just like the Dangerfield negotiations I reckon they may know more about your club than you do.

I think Kelly has made it clear for what ever reason he has, he wants West Coast

I think we all know Freo would part with a top 10 pick for him.

They'll be able to turn pick 14 and 24 in to a top 10 pick. They'll need to come to the party. Who knows they may need to see if a young vic player on their list wants to head home. I think 2 top 10 picks is just no realistic but West Coast can certainly come up with 1 if they work on it.

 

[DanWA]

Yeah it is pretty clear after naming West Coast while contracted and now uncontracted

The Vic media will still try for Geelong

Trade radio also said Brad Crouch our predicted B and F winner isnt worth a first round pick

Or Tom Papley is a signed sealed deal to carlton now Sydney have come out and said he aint going anywhere

Adelaide has not said anything of splitting or trading their pick what so ever

Genuine question - Do you still think there is bad blood because of the 92 & 94 result?

Still may be salty about paying 1st rounders for Brett Spinks and Mitchell White though.

which club would even contemplate that

Maybe not to you they haven't.

Apparently 14 and 24 is worth pick 3 or 4.

The points table says so.

100%. The players wouldn't care, but the old blokes at the club will never forget being humiliated by these young western pricks, twice! Then we got Cousins too. They got Jason Snell instead.

 

[Bucking Beads]

which club would even contemplate that

Carlton with pick 9 look perfect for a trade back as they want to trade in players as opposed to going to the Draft.

 

[Coaster2012]

which club would even contemplate that

turning a late top 10 pick into pick 14 and 24? A few clubs definitely would.
