Recommitted Josh Kelly [re-signed]

[Toadvine]

This is the most amazing thing in the whole saga.

How can you pay Yarran $800K and then offer Martin an initial $730K?

It defies all logic. If he does leave then Richmond will only have themselves to blame.

Because we didn't pay Yarran 800k? Show me a source that says that.

Richmond should definitely be in play for Kelly, younger, less experienced and yet better performed than North. We've got 3 first round picks at our disposal as well so plenty of ammunition to make it happen.

I'm just quoting one of your folks on our board named "The Gun"

Dustin Martin to North - Cawo confirms board has signed off on $1m/6-7y offer to Martin - phwoar

They give the impression that they are an authority on Richmond's contract matters.

I see one being pushed out due to cap squeeze but not both. If one goes there is no way you don't keep the other (even if it means you have to say thanks for your services to kennedy, hopper or smith).

Whitfield is not out of contract. He wont be going.

Picks 35 AND 41?

Future 1st round would be top 2 or 3. Apparently we are spending a decade at the bottom.

 

[StCicatriz]

My money would be saying you have 0/2 there but thanks for playing.

What if you need salary cap space for martin?

But yarran loves to snap

Can't see Kelly going to the Hawks. There is a lot in the way of that deal going ahead (picks/trades/cap space etc).

2 first rounders & a best 22 would be the starting price

 

[Gosha]

Think he's going to stay at GWS

This has to be the worst rumour ever. He wasted our time 2 years ago, why on earth people think we would even bother entertaining him for a day again to help him bump up his Richmond contract is mystifying.

Tend to agree. I can't help but think though - would holding the two picks and hoping both first rounders end up stars. Risk vs reward, but two first rounders could be bust or boom. Difference between a flag or finals. I'd be taking picks to the draft and hoping for 2 stars.

Hawks fans are eventually going to have to accept the fact that in selling the farm for Mitchell and O'Meara, they won't be getting anyone else for a while

you dont want martin, arguably the best mid in the land right now?

If we have enough for him why would we not give it to Kelly?

I think he stays, probably wins a cup, probably a Brownlow and maybe even captains GWS in the coming years

You didn't see his press conference did you?

He said "he is at the Giants at the moment."

Which changes to "I will lead the Giants in the future."

He is leaving GWS.

As much as I'd love this to happen there isn't the slightest chance in hell that happens. We don't have anything close to what would be required to deal for a player as good as he is, will be seriously envious of whoever lands him. Genuine freak.

maybe you see martin as a more pressing need?

Than Kelly?

God no.

Kelly is close to if not as good as Martin right now.

Kelly also has a lot longer to go in his footy life span.

Kelly has played with the Giants for a while now and its well known he wants to stay but the deals on offer are almost to good to refuse.

Martin is Black and Gold. Hense why we sent him south again a few years back.

So no.

I think he should join West Coast.

 

[Scotland]

Current ladder would have North with pick 6 and St Kilda with picks 4 and 8.

Assuming he wants to take up one of the offers then 4 + 8 or 6 + 2018 1st will probably get it done. Rare that clubs are actually to offer two top 10 picks at the trade table.

Totally watched it
