Mind you . If Geelongs price is to high we can use the picks requested for say pick 5. Then request Geelongs 1st pick in return or get nothing by going via the draftAbsolutely there is a point where the price is too high. Cats fans seem to think we'll be willing to give up our first two this year (or even first 3) plus first next year. Think we'll do it at any cost. If we can get two top 10 picks somehow (god knows how), we should keep the picks, unless we get a reasonable pick back with Kelly (top 20).
Reckon Demons would even go for that swap? I can't see it.
I heard today that Kelly wont even meet with Freo to discuss a deal. I reckon that means he wants nothing to do with them and that puts us right in the box seat. I imagine we'll be trying to combine current and future picks for a higher pick and then try to off load that to the cats. For example. 24 and 33 for Pick 11. Or future first and 33 for 11. And then 11 and 14 for Kelly and a future 2nd. And if worse comes to worst we'd offer 14 plus next years first plus 33 for him.I don't know why people think that the draft is any kind of realistic possibility for where the Kelly saga could end up. When was the last time that that hapenned? Geelong will definately trade him. Either to us, or if he cracks and shows weakness to them he might end up at Freo.
If he hasn't been traded by the last day i would expect the AFL will speak to both clubs, especially Geelong, and inquire about where the deal is at and tell them it is non - negotiable that Kelly gets traded to a club he will accept.

Don’t think anyone is saying it’s likely but Geelong aren’t taking that chance. If we manage to get a pick before Freos then Geelong have no choice and will get nothing for him, purely from the threat of us drafting him, whether it would get to that point or not is irrelevant. Think we just need to line up a possible trade to Sydney or Adelaide and that’ll be the end of it.. the pick trade won’t even have to go through, Geelong will know they’re cooked.I don't know why people think that the draft is any kind of realistic possibility for where the Kelly saga could end up.

It's completely undignified and embarassing to Freo that are continuing to pursue a player who won't even meet with them. And engage in mock negotiations with his club about how any top ten picks you will give them for a player who has totally rejected you. If a player won't even meet with you, especially by this stage of the year, then you would forget about him and move on with your business.I heard today that Kelly wont even meet with Freo to discuss a deal.

Peter Siddle for one.can you name a single elite athlete who does this?
I hope you are kidding.
Two first rounders and an early second for TK? That's madness for a 25 year old who plays as untagged 3rd or 4th mid behind a mix of Danger, Ablett, Selwood, Duncan etc.
For that price I'd rather he went to Freo...
and I detest everything about that skidmark club.
Not on TK, but the draft - this kid ISAIAH
BUTTERS - looks the goods. Is he tied to Freo at all? I seem to remember hearing something along these lines. I am currently watching the colts GF, and he is special.
Nah he cut sugar comply out of his diet he didn't go veganDarling went Vegan about 2 seasons ago. Has since won a premiership and made all-australian, so good on him.

We then tell geelong its pick 5 + 26 for kelly + 17I assume we will be speaking to swans. They may be interested in splitting 5 to help them do the daniher deal.
Swans 5 + 26
Eagles 14 and future first + 33
Offer Geelong pick 5, if they don't accept, take Kelly in draft at 5.
We have 24 + 26 + 64 in the draft
Swans have two first rounders to use in daniher deal and have more currency for papley trade
Honestly I'd rather keep the picks than pay way overs for TK. Geelong are a pack of A$$holes and I'd rather not give them the satisfaction. I'd like to get one of Sharp, Robertson or Rivers in the door.
Congrats on the first postHey boys, long time lurker but now arrogantly posting for the first time.
my understanding of the drafts was that you can nominate your contract terms and salary in the pre season draft but not in the national draft - hence even Sam Walsh was originally tied to the normal rookie deal, and when Tom Boyd was lured to the dogs his first season was still on the rookie wage. I can’t see Tim allowing this to happen as he’s clearly looking to set his family up for life and there’s no way he lasts to us in the pre season draft. #FreeTim
I doubt it would come to this .This simply doesn't make sense.
Please put a value on a flag and tell me that 14+18+24 is paying too much for a premiership.
Tim Kelly is a known quantity. He will be one of our best players for the next 5 years. Addition of Tim Kelly would mean our mid field is extremely damaging and has added depth.
Let's not die on a hill squabbling over draft pics when our window is wide open and we are 2nd favourites for next years flag.
If we have to pay overs, pay it.
They don't really think we can or would give them what they are asking for. Bizarre as it is, i think that Geelong are as motivated by not wanting us to have Kelly, because they don't want to strengthen a rival top side and that might cost them the flag they think they can win in the next 2 years, as they are by getting a good trade outcome for themselves. This is all about running the clock down and making belligerant public statements in order to see if they can bully and scare Kelly into accepting Freo instead.I doubt it would come to this .
This 3 firsts is probably a usual first asking price at the start of these trade periods for a high quality player but geelong have decided to play it out in the media for some reason .
No one is to say we havent offered pick 14 + future 2nd as our first offer .
Low ball vs high ball .
A fair trade will get done .

I can't believe Geelong want two top-10 picks for an ageing seamer who can't hit top speed anymore.Peter siddle
