When I hear part 3 (crows have signed) and part 4 (Kelly lines up for crows in his first game) ill pop the corks. Until then, Bryce is the word
If we managed to sign Kelly it would be a game changer for our club. It would be a game changer for free agency in the AFL. A gun player in his prime, moving to a club other than one in Melbourne, or their home city. I am going to keep hoping that one day it will happen and maybe even with Kelly. Its like playing the lotto, you gotta be in it to win it :)

If Dusty accepts the big offer from North Melbourne then surely they are out of the Kelly race. If we do actually have new found room in our cap with the 20% increase in the TPP then there is no reason we can't be the club to make the best offer.

Just finished dinner and what a riveting conversation with a friend of a player manager whos info in the past has been pretty solid.
Lever fielding alot of interest from vic clubs. Using it as leveridge in his new deal with adelaide. Doesnt want to leave. Unless we completely low ball him or he gets a 5 year million doallar a year deal hes staying.

Mcgovern is staying. Wants to repay the club.

Josh Kelly is weighing up his options between north and adelaide. Gws cant match the huge offers. Apparently our deal to him is massive and larger than anybody in our team has atm. Close to a million dollars a year and in the vicinity of 7 years.

Otten is fielding interest from collingwood. But is likely to stay a crow.

Jj on 5aa tonight said that he was pretty confident that gov isn't going anywhere. Said that he's good mates with him so you think he way have an idea
Pity JJ took all the money!

That's good to hear though. I don't recall any player saying that they thought Dangerfield would stay.

Geez imagine re signing Lever and Gov and picking up Josh Kelly. Martin and Fyfe would be great but Kelly has the potential to be as good or better than both of them and he is only 22.

So you think in 10 years time football pundits will be comparing current players to Travis Cloke??

Not in your dreams even...

Gaz, Danger and Buddy however...
Those arent the sort of things I dream about :wink:

However, the comment was that no starts ever resign when they put off talks until the end of the year. I am arguing that at that stage Cloke was one of the best fwds in the comp (i.e. a star). Seems you disagree which is fine.

Currently, I'd classify him as a fallen star, or more accurately neutron star :newmoon:

I've said previously Shooter will stay, he has a very strong bond with Pyley

Wow the Josh Kelly info is interesting, Kelly to
Adelaide opens up our premiership window for a good portion of his 7 year contract, I wonder what value Kelly puts on the opportunity to win a flag

Firstly, yay!

Second, as good he will be... am I the only one who thinks Kelly isn't really the type of mid we need to be chasing hard?
Yeah Kelly is obviously a gun but at the moment feels like we need a Cunnington/Josh Kennedy type that always win or neutralise inside, and then everyone else can trust and hold outside.

But if you have a chance to grab a guy like Kelly you do it and sort the other issue out later.

You realise that if even one of those does not come off, you will be banished by all the naysayers? ;)

Not me though - thanks for sharing!

Yeah. If Kelly wants to come here you do the deal. You can list every A grade player in the AFL but there is next to zero chance they will come here. Given his age he is actually the best possible recruit in my opinion.

So judging by some of the inside info we've had here in the past, Lever and McGovern are gone, Kelly is zero chance to come to Adelaide, and Otten will definitely leave for Collingwood.

Jokes aside, if Kelly was truly headed here, I wonder who is making way for his salary and required picks. He's the best player at GWS, one of the best in the league, and he'll cost a bloody fortune. (And I did say we should go hard at him last year ;) )

Not surprised to hear Otten is getting offers from the Pies. They need key position help, Otto is a FA, so won't cost them anything at the trade table.

Also, wasn't that what that guy "connected" with Lever said originally? He was a lock to stay as long as a fair offer was on the table to him.

The Cap is getting a massive boost and maybe we have in fact been been hording Tippett and Danger money.

For arguments sake.. because I find trade period fantasy so fun.

Andy Otten to Collingwood for 3rd rounder compo
Our first and 2018 2nd and Douglas for Josh Kelly.
2018 first and Mackay for Gibbs.
Use our 3rd rounders times 2 to get Edwards FS.
Upgrade Keath and Greenwood, retire Thompson.

Out: Thompson, Mackay, Otten, Douglas, Gore.. but who will be our whipping boy now?
In: Kelly, Gibbs, Greenwood, Keath, Edwards, 2nd rounder (short 2017 list)

Likely team and depth..

Luke Brown ~ Kyle Hartigan ~ Jake Lever
Rory Laird ~ Daniel Talia ~ Bryce Gibbs
Brodie Smith ~ Rory Sloane ~ Josh Kelly
Tom Lynch ~ Taylor Walker ~ Charlie Cameron
Eddie Betts ~ Josh Jenkins ~ Mitch McGovern
Sam Jacobs ~ Matt Crouch ~ Brad Crouch
Wayne Milera ~ Tom Doedee ~ Rory Atkins ~ Riley Knight

Galluci, Cheney, Menzel, Obrien, Greenwood, Hampton, Seedsman, Keath, CEY, Wigg, Poholke, Dear

I like what I'm reading!

Otten would be wise to grab a big contract from Collingwood if they throw one his way. Would be a better investment than Wells or Mayne.
