Irregardless of his reasons, he has picked his team and like the players who selected Bulldogs their teams aren't telling them they will trade them to any team in Melbourne are they?

Imagine if this deal gets done quietly and efficiently by lunchtime today. It'll be like this whole thread was for nothing!
Too bad that'll never happen.

A poster on our board brought attention to a line in the Herald Sun live trade blog about Kelly.
He isn't even interested in meeting with them, let alone playing for them.
"The Dockers have offered to have new coach Justin Longmuir speak to Tim Kelly as he tries to get to the Eagles but as yet have been rebuffed."

Worked for Carlton with Nick Stevens. Hardly a waste. However, offering it in a *trade* scenario isn't relevant, certainly not at this point.

Nick Stevens was pick 2 in the pre-season draft.
Nowhere near the same league as a top 10 national draft pick which is what the OP was on about.

If a trade can't be worked out I reckon Kelly would rather go to GC than stay in Geelong where they treat him like shit

I think he would rather go to whoever that draft him, Adelaide, Melbourne, Fremantle.You use GC just for ego stroking. if I am Eagles list manager I rather look at different way to get the deal done. other club don't even know he is available in this year draft until trade period end.

Yes, but my point was that a player was forced to go to a club who he didn't really want to go to, but still put in a good shift and played very well for them. It's hardly as though he just sat on his arse for two years and then forced a trade to Collingwood.
Anyway, for all that, I doubt that Freo is relevant here. Both clubs are motivated to get this done - West Coast to shore up the list before the premiership window absolutely slams shut, Geelong to get a trade return before the player walks. It'll take forever, but it'll get done IMO.

If a trade cant be worked out the Eagles could trade for a draft pick higher than six and pick him up in the draft.Then Geelong get nothing.
What evidence is there he's been treated poorly?
Geelong looking for value from him and having him honour his contract isn't close to 'treating him like s**t'.
It's not like that though, because sellers don't know how much money a buyer can borrow.
So there is a bit of cat and mouse trying to work out a good deal, that can be achieved.
In the case of this trade, Geelong know we don't have 2 top 10 picks, but have still asked for it (fair enough).
For your scenario, it's a bit like a seller knowing the buyer can only borrow $700k and saying they'll only accept $800k (i.e. they don't want to sell to them).
Don't care where he ends up as long as the Cats get a good deal out of the trade. But if he does go to the Dockers any chance we can have a live stream of the meltdowns that a fair few of the Eagles fans on here are going to have.

This is my preference even if we have to give up more for that pick.
