[Mad_Hatter]

Anyone care to give a run down of this bloke?
I know very little about him although he does look familiar (did he lack fitness the last few years?).

 

[MarkCatsFan]

What the *? Somebody please explain, aaand he's listed as currently injured. Of ******* course he is.

 

[Spazz Cat]

Like the look of this one. + he's ready to go.
No left foot though unfortunately.

 

[bigfarter]

What the ****? Somebody please explain, aaand he's listed as currently injured. Of ******* course he is.

You should go to his first day of training and punch him in the face.

He is now a GFC footballer - someone knows more that you. Get used to it.

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.

He'll play round 1. He is a star.

I think it's a good idea. We lost Motlop and Lang. We need a player like this who's ready to go now.

First melt of the draft, congrats

There's a difference between being cautious or unconvinced about a selection and outright not giving the guy a chance. Your post just seemed like a weird sulk before the guy has even had a moment to prove himself. Getting excited over a pick is relatively fruitless as well (I though Jarrad Jansen looked a star) but cracking it instantly after a selection just seems a bit unfair to me.

Why not just say you have some concerns . Then in a year or two you can say I got it right. Or I got it wrong if he goes well - with apologies.

This will make the bloke feel very uneasy if he is as mad as me and reads Big footy.

Eat your words?....you might have to get your foot out of the way first.

Kelly was selected by many in top 25...he's strong and hard and ready to go...if we hadn't taken him WCE would have.

Great selection IMO.

 

[ep2018]

Tim will slot right in and play well for you guys. His work ethic is second to none. Great pick up. kicking myself that we weren't able to draft him.

 

[dazbroncos]

Took until our second pick at 24 for the melt awards to be handed out lol..

Go Catters

 

[Art Vandelay_]

Ha nice melt.
Will play round 1.

 

[CatsDoItBetter]

I'm watching on replay but I'm so happy we got Kelly he will be a star plays like Daniel Wells will play round 1 forward or a wing.

 

[Seeds]

those are some bloody good highlights. exciting.

[Biggy_Boy]

Didn't this guy have a lot of discipline/attitudinal issues which hampered his ability to get drafted in previous years, and he overcame this with a strong support network outside of football? Seems something of a risk that the go-home factor will be strong and he will struggle to keep himself up to the standard so far from home and his social network.

The pick otherwise makes sense, however. Geelong needs small forwards who can kick goals and play now, and he should be able to do that provided those aforementioned concerns don't quell his capacity to perform for Geelong at AFL.

Nah, he'll just be thinking ''Great, i get to smash some tosser in front of the guys on day1, i'll have mad cred in no time"

 

[DanA]

I liked him when I watched him earlier. A Rolls Royce of a player that likes to carry the ball but I'm not sure he's that quick. But he's really clean and I think will have the type of impact that Stewart has had.

 

[strauchnyy]

Was one of my first choices for us at 22/24!

Best pick for us.

Daniel Wells clone.
