This.

Sick of it polluting this thread already

Will Tim Kelly be leaving this thread at the end of the year?

 

[Warhorse]

Certain members have gone from abusing anyone who says he will leave to now crying that they want it moved into another thread. Hilarious

 

[Turbocat]

I'd trade Kelly if it meant we drafted Max King.

Thats a "in draft" trade type scenario isn't it. Id think you would need somewhere in the top 10...but where?

 

[Turbocat]

I think he got a bunch of concussions - or a least more than 2 - and he might be coming back after that.
Regarding do we want him - im not sure you can ever have too many quality defenders... but with the emergence of Henry right now.. it would take a lot to convince me that KK is a better long term and cheaper HBF than Henry right now....

GO Catters

The head issue is a long term worry for him

Its a demonstration of draft V development and then the luck of injuries. It wasn't that long ago when he was the hot one of the two... How many good young players get used as cannon fodder because they go to a club that down the bottom end.

We have Thurlow , 2E and Stewart... not sure there is a spot for him now.

I won't be the least bit surprised if KK ends up at the Cats next year mate.

To Freo for an early pick.

Really Stan? I wouldn't have thought he (as a player type) would be high on our priorities .. but we will see I guess.

A player that can run well and kick the ball well? Definitely! I wouldn't be surprised if he's playing in the reserves because the club already knows that he is on the way out...

Id say he would be a reasonable gamble at the right price..because I think he has lost his way up there. Could he overcome all that Gold Coast experience and become good in our best22? Not sure. What would you pay for him?

That's a tough question at the moment... I'd say he'd be worth a pick in the 30's currently but you and I both know that if we want him and we think that we can get the best out of him we would be willing to pay a little bit more than that.

 

[Turbocat]

To Freo for an early pick.

I think we have slightly missed each other thoughts here. So I will try again.

Max King ..would I like him ..sure would ..What would he cost? Not sure something in the top 10.

Trading Kelly to Freo for P10... gets us close but does it get us MKing? Id not be confident that would get us Max King. It might ... but I suspect it might require another trade to get earlier.

So targeting a specific player like MKing is something that would seem to fit the concept of mid drafting trading. We have P10 and MKing is still there at 7 .. perhaps we have already worded up the team with P7 , they want another player not MKing .. they agree to trade 7 for 10 and and something to get MKing.

It really depends on what teams are ahead of our pick and what are their needs.

If he can’t get a senior game, and especially if he is out of contract, he is not worth much in trade value ie darcy lang, shane kerstan value. Not in the 30’s, more like the 50’s i would have thought.

Would they trade him for that ..? 30-40? Stewart cost us 40...

The twin that hasn't done the ACL top 3 i reckon the other might get to 6-10. Not that i expect we will trade Kelly

 

[Pure_Ownage]

He doesn't really fill a need and the concussions are a worry and we need picks for FS so we can only really afford to trade them for needs.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

caddy had a contract for the next two years and we gave him up and that wasnt even to move interstate.

Caddy wasn't worth the money he was on to us. Kelly is the opposite.

 

[Seeds]

wasnt caddy on similar coin to scott selwood? plus caddy only signed a new contract the season before. how could we get his contract so wrong?

Max is the acl ..and was at least mentioned as #1.. get him for 10 one would think its good value.

Do a thorough medical (of course we would).

 

[Turbocat]

Do a thorough medical (of course we would).

Of course... the query id have is it likely to effect their game..
Others would be able to judge them but Max was more the forward and Ben was down back but now forward... the highlights I've seen they seem tall leaper rather than relying on agility so one would think Max should be all OK. I have an issue on Maxs kicking but he is good overhead...Ben may even appeal to us more


see what you think...

The Tim Kelly thread on the draft board. Why Bobby why.

I reckon his knee might throw a few clubs off. Pick 7 is possible, who knows.

Talls quite often drift anyway ... Look at any draft and some tall talked about as really early somehow goes later ... so add the knee for sure 7 is possible ..could be later ..it depends on the form of other players.

I tried.. but a waste of time. Positions are entrenched

I hope you're right but I don't think that the Suns will let him go that cheaply mate. They've invested alot in him and they'll want something back for it I reckon. His talent is unquestioned. The GC Suns aren't us... They don't deal in the same way.
