I'd take Kelly actually that's how highly I rate him. Heeney is extremely close though. It's an interesting debate actually. All 3 are going to be elite
The game is always changing. Right now the game suits a silky smooth mid like Kelly. Two years ago big-bodied Koutoufides types like Fyfe, Priddis etc were dominating. In 2012-13-14 our contested hard-nut "plodders" were the best in the comp. By the time North actually got Kelly, there's a chance they'd be in need of a bigger, stronger bull at the contest. This is why players like Voss, Pendlebury, and in the future, Heeney are the best ones. Big bodied and hard to break down but still clean, athletic and skillful. Heeney has literally every great quality in a footballer. Just needs a clean run with no injuries.

I'm actually excited that we are blooding new kids, I haven't given up, but look out in 18.
Have to agree
There's a bit of IF to it but we get AJ back with Aliir and rampe that's a solid defence
By then mills and heeney should be full time mids
Pace of Hayward and Rohan , papley etc

Like the sound of 18

Even little things like no neafl this week to get the injured players game time is going against us

As much as I appreciate what the Adelaide Advertiser did with the photoshoot of the indigenous players from the Crows and Port, I reckon they needed to do the same but with non-indigenous footballers. (ie have Betts and Ryder surrounded by their non-indigenous team-mates.) I think it would have been more effective in getting through to these numb-nuts who think indigenous players are different to everyone else.
