The reason you bring in a gun like Kelly is because he will also make everyone else around him appear better.
Correct.
Internal improvement + Kelly = exponential improvement.
Less pressure on existing mids + Harder to tag our mids = better fwd entries = more goals.
Better midfield = better defence = less goals conceded.
A + B + C = at least 4 extra wins = finals & possible top 4.
The numbers don't lie campaigners!
In terms of cost...
If we pay both this year, can someone please work out over the past 3 years since we traded for Jake, how many first round picks we have given away and how many players we have brought in.
I make it as follows:
Jake and Gresh for 1 first.
Last year's first moved to this year.
This year's firsts for Kelly.
This means 3 firsts for 3 players.
So Kelly will pretty much cost us a first overall.
Jake & Kelly = A grade. Gresh looking good so far.
