We are being too harsh on our recruiting staff. Every other club in the AFL overlooked him multiple times. I had watched him playing for Souths and thought he was good but never realized he could go to this level. Anyway good on Tim Kelly for persevering and forging a great career (so far)
Or not harsh enough on all the clubs. Recruiters are supposed to be able to identify talent. If there is a bloke under your noses like Kelly who is supposedly not taking things seriously or has upside with fitness/training/consistency and so forth, you should be able to spot this ahead of time. His QF and SF in 2016 and a few other games through that year are on par with his standard sort of game in 2017. We should have chosen him instead of Giro or Banfield, end of story. No excuses.
