Jake Kelly not Selected...

[mattys123]

I'd just like to thank Adelaide for picking up Jake Kelly. They will put 1-2 years of development into him before he returns to the Pies anyway.

Let's face it if Jake shows any potential to be a senior player at all he'll be at Collingwood quicker than you can say "Carlton are Collingwood lite".

Why would he want to come to the club who overlooked him for a spud guaranteed to be de-listed in 12 months.

Seriously very easy to go from love to hate, like I don't know being told you will be rookied then overlooked.

If Jake goes on to have an average/good career with the crows and we delist Gault this time next year.

derek is going to get a big X in my book for this one.

That's not how you rate a recruiter, Wells makes plenty of mistakes because that's the nature of the business, but it didn't stop him producing 3 premiership teams.. you have to look at the aggregate of decisions he makes and mark him accordingly

This is blatant though. It's pretty clear what Gault is, as everyone who's watched the VFL has seen him. Completely different from missing on a relatively unknown 18 year old in the national draft.

Well then the Crows would ask something good in Return. So we would not get him for Free like we probably should of.

I think Hine's hands were tied on that one. Gault was under contract and was retained to pay him out.

It's a strange one If he shows after 2-3 years that he is someone who will be a good AFL player, the club will go hard for him and despite our kind of poor treatment of him over the past 6 months, he will find it hard to resist coming back especially if Craig becomes President

You'd think there'd be room in the cap if we really liked someone and were to pay him out.

Perhaps, I guess it's only $60k or whatever a rookie salary is, but maybe there is more to it?
