News Jake Kelly departs to Essendon as a free agent

[LiquidCrow]

Make you a little uncomfortable does it ??

Definitely. I'd question the stability of two people on that chair and the position of his drink - just crying out for an accident!

 

[1970crow]

Thing is, it's not

post a few others then.

Pretty impressive rig on Kelly, I'd be pretty bloody stoaked with that

 

[Soggy2112]

The only thing surprising about that photo is that Ben Keays is in a shirt

Maybe he’s enjoyed the post season festivities a little too much?

EDIT: purely tongue in cheek

How long does it take for consideration of compensation?

How long does it take for consideration of compensation?

Should happen bloody quickly, certainly by the end of today.

 

[Trigger13]

That Zero Hanger site reporting we get no compo. That can’t be right.

 

[conVINCEd]

It’s possible. 3 year deal at $350/$375K might not cut the mustard.

Even a third rounder for us would be handy.

 

[ams4crows]

No compensation has to be bullshit?

Adelaide will not gain compensation for Kelly's departure.

 

[ams4crows]

The fact Atkins and Cam Ellis Yolmen got us compo but Kelly who was best 22 the last 5 years doesn't will never cease to amaze me

The AFL hate us

I think we should wait for the AFL to confirm either way - if it has not yet been released that website may purely be guessing on gut feel

And Geelong got a first round pick for bloody Motlop FFS.

Adelaide defender Jake Kelly has exercised his free agency rights and will join Essendon this off-season.
An unrestricted free agent, Kelly nominated the Bombers as his preferred destination after ending his contract at West Lakes in 2021.
The 26-year-old played 110 games for the Crows after being recruited via the 2014 Rookie Draft, and will now return to his home state of Victoria.



Kelly will now join Essendon on a three-year contract and will aid the Bombers' impressive defensive structure.
The departing Adelaide backman played a formidable role in Matthew Nicks' defence this season across 20 appearances as a versatile defender.

Adelaide will not gain compensation for Kelly's departure.

Yeah I was buggered if I could find it, there is a reason why the Zero Hanger guys are non pros, just ammo's putting in stories.

 

[George Kramer]

I can’t believe couldn’t keep him

 

[pjcrows]

I think what they meant was that Essendon doesn't need to give anything up to get him, not that Adelaide doesn't get compensation.

 

[Bayno82]

Best thing to do is look at AFL house on twitter any decisions normally go there first

Nah, they've removed it for a reason, someone has called them out on it obviously.
