Traded 11. Tim Kelly (2018 - 2019)

I think I read Tim K went back home to complete his Elec Apprenticeship exams .. .. I like these guys having a real job outside footy to go back to when its all finished... whether that a long or short time... one hopes he can be a bright spark for our team next year...

Well played sir.

= or > Motlop, and we have a winner.
Tall order though.

I havent bothered watching his interview - and i couldnt care less about it

However i did read a newspaper article after he got drafted - and he said - look in his situation - it would have been alot easier if he went to 1 of the 2 local clubs - however he did add that coming into the draft - that he wanted to go to the club that wanted him the most - and that happens to be Geelong - and he added that the club is great and the people are great - so alls good

Just on his number preference - if Billy Goggin was still coach - and Kelly starred in the opening 3 or 4 games - then Kelly would be quickly wearing no 8 - and Kolo or whoever presently wears no 8 - would be wearing blooody no 50 or something .

I have a bit of an issue with the suggestion that we will play him on the wing as an outside player, considering he's done all his best work as an inside mid, I'd rather play him up forward and rotate him into the role that best suits him.

I think he’ll play predominantly forward. He knows where the goals are and kicked 7 in a half in the WAFL this year.

Probably could do without the ink ..but that just my preference.

I don't like tatts myself, especially on women.
But if he ends up being a top player, then I could not care if he dyed his hair fluorescent green.

Would love to see how he goes at an intra-club match vs GAJ or Selwood... I think he will play HFF, Wing, maybe short stints in the guts.

Clearly has pace and skills - I hope he can add that "slow down and balance 1/2 a step" before kicking or disposing of it to his game. Hardest thing for now players to do it seems.

Will go a massive distance to his polish and finish IMO.

Cocky sometimes has this problem but that goal in R1 v Freo he actually slowed down at the last minute.
Wojo really did have this problem, another one I'd love to have back playing :(

Oh sorry. Yaaaaay Wells drafted an injured 23 year old at 24 what a magnificent win for the club all hail the benevolent General Cook and his glorious new regime.

I'm happy to eat my words in 8 months, and I really hope I'm wrong, but this one on the surface looks insane.

Just sayin'
