2017 trade/draft thread

Just saw some Tim Kelly highlights for the first time, **** me!!!

If west coast don't throw a second rounder at him there's something wrong with them

Lol. No doubt you'll say that about 10 other players prior to the draft.

 

[avishka5]

Simpson should have his license to have an opinion on trades taken away from him given how the Jetta and Redden trades turned out.

Redden- Jury still out on redden. Finished the year strong and showed us why we drafted him.
Jetta- gets harsh treated but we gave away a depth player for him.

If true your mate needs to GTFO from the club. knows FA about Football.

Chill mate. The post was a funny troll.........well maybe not so funny, maybe slightly humorous!

same. Him and shuey would kill it if redden and sheed can just dominate in the coal face.

I suspect our second rounder, as it currently stands, will be too late to get Kelly given the amount of interest expressed in him. Will need to upgrade...

IMO pick 30 is right on the money.

Time will tell.

Unpopular Opinion: Hartung isn't that far behind Gaff.
Hartung+Hawks 2018 1st FOR Gaff, is an absolute steal. Gets us an extra 1st round pick in a megadraft. Gives us the chance to package 1sts for a certain Ian Hill too.

How so?

 

[Jootube]

How so?

In my eyes, Hartung is a slight downgrade (75% the player of Gaff) but also 3 years younger.
The Hawks 1st next year could be anything from 5-12. That's worth A LOT in the 2018 draft year.

 

[ziad]

Hartung is quicker than Gaff, hasn't he been used to break lines off half back?

Perhaps his decision making isn't 100% but the Hawks have O'mera and Mitchell now.

Our Mitchell should give sound advice on Hurtung

 

[Dark Sharks]

Those bagging Hartung are being a bit harsh, he's a quality player.

If Gaff left Hartung would be just the sort of replacement we'd need.

Has a higher ceiling than Redden as well

Tim Kelly, apprentice electrician, partner of 6 years and awaiting twins later in the year.. sounds like a few good reasons to stay in Perth and seem a flight risk..

Those highlights posted above do look exciting, like a bigger bodied more inside L.Jetta.

Ah Chee, Jetta and Kelly starting for us would be fantastic

we really need to get wingers that can tackle . Gaff , masten , hill and hartung are all the same soft outside type .

Give me a matty rosa or Andrew embley tall marking outside mid who can lay a few tackles

 

[Bleedblueandgold]

I don't know anything about Hartung, but being from Victoria, why would he even want to move to Perth?

 

[plays tall 1]

IMO pick 30 is right on the money.

Time will tell.

Yes we'll see. But I'd be surprised if Gold Coast (4 picks before 30) or Brisbane (3 picks before 30) don't nab him before us.

Tim Kelly - Poor mans Daniel Wells anyone?

Or is Tim more inside?

Except he can’t do what gaff does and never will. He is a masten.

Probably spot on with this comparison . Second round pick is scarry for a 23 yr old , found terrific form this season at SF though .

Regarding Redden, i agree with Robert Walls - Most of the footy he gets is on the outside and he doesn't do much with it.

 

[kerrazy]

Can some tell me why Kelly hasnt been drafted yet? He is 23 so obviously is a late bloomer. What made him undraftable at a younger age?

robert walls doesn't watch us much and it seems you don't either. He's been played predominantly at HFF/wing more than as an on baller. That probably a huge reason why he doesn't win a heap of his own ball.

any way 43% of his possession this year were contested (decent number concidering he was at HFF/wing).

 

[Yamumluvsbigcox]

from what I have seen from ah chee and kelly they both don't have big engines more burst players . But both can play forward . Those 2 rotating on ball / forward would be very effective

Yeah. Your right. In fact he was so impactfull and influential for us that he got dropped to the WAFL twice this season. In addition to being dropped to the WAFL for a lengthy stint the previous season too.

He was going so well and dominating the middle of the ground so much that the match committee were compelled to drop him to the WAFL. Absolutely compelled.

Twice.

In a team that was woefully underperforming generally and was crying out for experienced reliable players in the very area of the ground he plays in.

We were getting flogged in the midfield most weeks, we had nobody banging down the door in the WAFL for a spot in our midfield. And he is an experienced 100 game AFL player. And he still got dropped.

If only all our players played so well that they got dropped multiple times in one season.

Never got drafted 2012 and 2013 so not sure why certainly improved out of sight this season ....evidently Carlton are keen on Kelly and their first pick in the draft at this stage ( pre trade week ) is 38 hence we might need our pick 30 to draft Kelly . Brisbane also keen and they have picks 1 , 12 , 18 to use before Carltons pick 38 , NM also keen and have picks 4 & 21 in front of Carltons pick 38 .

Cannot see those top 20 picks used on Kelly , we will probably wait till later in the draft pick 48 or 67 and take Kelly or Schloithe whichever is left avaiable at that spot .....but maybe not because we are desperate for ready to go midfielders and Kelly could be that .
