Recommitted Josh Kelly [re-signed]

[PP34]

I'm quoting his manager connors. With stuff he's said on national tv. You are speaking with crossed fingers and tiny hopes and dreams. There is a difference.

Paul Connors actually said it on open Mike last week. He said that GWS and North were the only people in the conversation - when asked if there were other clubs involved he said: "no, we don't do that"
Alluding to bid shopping and playing clubs off against each other.

Ha, that's not what that means at all. Wow you North fans are hilarious.

By we don't do that it pretty clearly means that he's not going to openly state the clubs who have presented Connors with offers for his client. Why would he?

Not that hard to understand really.

Kelly has more upside than Martin.

Will be a North player guaranteed

Is this a joke ? Haha good one . One bloke is surrounded with guns and the other has played beside a bunch of spuds most of his career . One is a inside contested bull who beats full backs one on one deep in the forward 50 and the other is a outside player developing his inside game who is lightly framed . Get your hand of it .

Yes I predicted my team to go backwards. I did not/ do not rate our list. I don't know what every one else saw in the team.
Like I said Saints fans had a little more reason to be optimistic about making the 8 due to having a better list then Norf.

You guys really are a sad bunch of people.

Before posting any more rubbish look at the prediction thread.
95% Saints posters had you in the 8.
95% Roo posters had us out of the 8.

Not sure we could be any sadder than 66 and bad bounces......

I wonder how North are going to explain why A...they offered Dusty more and B they called Kelly the plan B option. It's not the sort of way to try to attract A grade talent I would have thought.

 

[DrMike]

Mixed messages.

Something like 50% staying @ GWS, 45% Carlton and 5% the rest.

Thought it was you guys first

Kelly isnt plan B. the offer to him was well b4 the dusty one.

Dusty was part 2 of a double play. plan b is either getting another established mid this year, or another key position next year....

kelly is, and always has been target no1.

 

[Wild Bill]

3288 Points(Pick 7 x2) - 677 (Pick 28) = 2611 - 2234 (Pick 3) + Pick 43 is the same value as that trade.

And at the time collingwood expected to play finals so they were really giving up less then that. Kelly also was worse then Treloar at the same age prior to this year and has just slightly edged ahead, he isn't worth substantially more.

Pick 3 + 20 is worth 3146 points, virtually as much as 2 pick 7's and more then enough.

Slightly ahead?

If thats the case, why offer him less ?

Some very credible sources on our board have Kelly slightly leaning towards staying.

It's very close.

I think he'll stay. Wouldn't want to end up another Treloar.

Maybe it'll depend how far they go this year.

The plan was always Kelly but to push richmond up to 1.3 million. So far so good.

 

[Unity-28]

longer term, with triggers to earn more later in contract, and the fact that dusty would have, and did demand more to get him.

So that is how you will explain it to Kelly ? We offered you under's cause we are shifty smart mate ?

Kelly should actually have some targets to kick to at Carlton.

Treloar wasn't smart enough to realise that lately Collingwood are allergic to drafting quality talls.

unders? really? 1.1 a year for 9 years is unders? shit, what was your initial offer to dusty again? no wonder he wanted to bleed you guys dry....

Yeah - wasn't really thinking many would believe that.

That makes perfect sense, thanks.

Hope you get him. Perfer North over Blues as they will just waste his talent by making him kick backwards and sideways and call that defending....and i dont want him to go to the saints or bombers as he fits a perfect need for them.

kelly would have better targets at north to kick to.

 

[Mr_Plow]

kelly would have one target at north to kick to.

1.1 for 9 is way overs for Kelly

He will never be allowed to forget his reasons for picking the Pies.

Like Bucks in the 90s picked the Pies over the Roos to win flags. Trelour could have done a Bucks - while being coached by Bucks.

Now doesn't that make your head spin!!
