Ah OK so the forward you are proposing is fifth in line if you count Kennedy? Caveat emptor I reckon, I would rather have your two firsts.
There's various training load related excuses doing the rounds which seem logical but not sure I buy them. I think there's a few peices missing from front half of the season which most clubs should be able to put around him. Our ruckwork was never amazing but since the bye has been close to the worst in the league. It wasn't great before that but it was passable. Secondly, the set up we had close in at the stoppages first half of the season had Parfitt and Constable in there at most of them and no Selwood and not much of Dangerfield. Similar to 2018 at the moment there's too many elite attacking players and no one blocking. Basically all that a side needs to get him to his output in the first half of the season is a passable ruck and a couple of depth midsKelly has looked quite poor second half of the season? What is up with that?
What's with all these Fremantle flogs trying to pump up hills tyres. This is the Kelly thread.
Geelong played poor and allowed hill space. In the majority of the Fremantle games it looked to me that hill had been found out and that is why Fremantle have been so poor.
Kennedy is our #1 forward and is managed.
Darling is our #2 tall forward, and recently recontracted & a WA boy.
Oscar Allen is our #3 tall forward in his first full season and has been used on ball & down back. Also a WA boy
Waterman is our #4 tall forward, a father/son
If he picks you guys and Cats can't convince one of your players to leave then I think that's where it will end up. Ballpark at least.Thoughts on this potential trade?

Darling has gone past Kennedy as our #1. JK has played 19, 14, 18* games the last 3 years. It's possible he only plays 10-15 next year. He's the same age as Jarryd Roughead who went from a 70 goal kicker to a 50 goal kicker, missed a year, had two years as serviceable 30 goal kicker playing a role to falling off a cliff this year.
Fast forward a year or two and the young guys jump up a spot in the pecking order. We played Kennedy, Darling, Allen, Waterman yesterday so without JK there is room for the other three plus Brander. Trading Brander would be a poor move unless a club rated him as worth a top 10 pick in this year's draft, which they wouldn't. I don't see a key forward future for Waterman, he reminds me of Lynch from the Crows. Having a couple of forward options with 3-4 pre seasons under their belts when Kennedy retires is the plan.
not a lot of cats fans ripping Hill after he cut us up 2 weeks agoAlthough I bet if Geelong did sign Hill then Cats fans will suddenly talk him up after rubbishing him previously.
Fair, yes. Let's be honest it will get done for a lot less thoughThoughts on this potential trade?

I said at the end of 2018 that we need to work it so Waterman, Allen and Brander having a combined 80 games under their belts by the time JK finishes, rather than a combined 30. Brander hasn't had much of a run at it but the games played by Allen and Waterman this season have us on track for that, provided JK goes again in 2020.Darling has gone past Kennedy as our #1.

For just picks I reckon that’s spot on and likely the most the Cats could possibly get from youreckon thats probably a fair starting point if he nominates eagles
For an out of contract player who nominates us (if that happens), I would be a bit annoyed if we paid that high a price. Unless he turns it back on for finals, I think the two early picks should get the trade done. His loss of form shows the danger in overvaluing from a small sample size. Obviously his best is brilliant, but there's every possibility he's not up to the workload of being a frontline player, that other teams may work him out.Fair, yes. Let's be honest it will get done for a lot less though

I reckon he has an awkward ball drop, sometimes drops it quite high, guess that can be fixed though. But you don’t want it getting to far out of hand, it’s why Petracca butchers his kicks a lot.I really hope we retain Brander, incredible touch for a KPF/D he's going to have a big future no matter where he goes.
Cant argue with the end result he is a beautiful and long kick of the ball.I reckon he has an awkward ball drop, sometimes drops it quite high, guess that can be fixed though. But you don’t want it getting to far out of hand, it’s why Petracca butchers his kicks a lot.

Depends on your definition of window. Selwoods output has dropped off a cliff at age 31 which is usually a precursor to a September lap of the G, Danger hasn't played a full year primarily as an on-baller since 2017, Kelly about to ask for a trade. Fair chance the cats major ballwinners next year are aged 22 or under in Constable, Parfitt, Cockatoo, and Narkle. Maybe add Jack Steven but he isn't going to be a game changer.You hope, Hill trumps that IMHO, the Cats are in the window more kids dont help.
IF Kelly is still anti Freo that will help otherwise I dont think you are on a winner.

That said, who knows. Our window was has supposed to have closed half a dozen times in the last decade. I've stopped believing in Windows.
Maybe.
Last year the cats reportedly wanted 20, 22 and our 2019 first. So the deal I proposed is better for west coast than if they had given that up last year.
I see our first this year and next year for Kelly as an ok deal for the eagles. So I guess cats fans will see that as unders.
