His courage and endeavour cannot be questioned. One thing that’s understated about Kelly is that he’s a humble player. I remember after a Crows win a few years ago, somebody (Brian Taylor?) was interviewing both Kelly and Lever, Kelly spoke first then he unashamedly directed the focus on Lever, telling the interviewer “ask Lever here, he’s more the star”. Lever gave a smirk smile and proceeded with the interview, then Kelly quickly exited the interview. Shows he’s in it purely to play footy rather than all the external accolades and media attention.
For what footy deficiencies there are, a humble tough nut who gets to 100 AFL games gets my respect!
