We had interest in Brad Crouch before Jack Higgins requested a tradeYea but it doesn’t free up 300k because that lost spot still needs to be replaced.
I would be surprised if after the pay increases to those guys mentioned in the previous post it left much excess salary. Would have to wait and see though.
Yeah And probably hoping to get him in a discount because you are the Tigers, Kelly will be earning way more than what you offered CrouchWe had interest in Brad Crouch before Jack Higgins requested a trade
It’s tough to imagine I knowIf he goes to Richmond and they win the flag you would have to think that would be a breaking point for many people
You remember when we were little boys champion players used to go to the Hawks for less to play in flagsYeah And probably hoping to get him in a discount because you are the Tigers, Kelly will be earning way more than what you offered Crouch
id happily pay him what he wants as long as don’t have to give up our first this or next year for him.
Kelly on one wing and Polec on the other is a good start.
So who do they pay 95% of the salary cap to ?North are miles off being competitive. Absolutely no point you guys trying to lure him.
You need to hit the draft hard and build from within. Maybe get some other vets/bigger bodies on the side, but Kelly is simply unrealistic/feasible for Notth
And according to one poster, North will give us Jared Polec for nothing as a gift? Everyone gets a prize...So who do they pay 95% of the salary cap to ?
No trade required a free agent that only costs cash which north have truck loads
consider us oprahAnd according to one poster, North will give us Jared Polec for nothing as a gift? Everyone gets a prize...
No point in going to Richmond. They're nearing their expiry date and wouldn't be able to offer top dollar.
Melbourne would be my tip. They're a team on the rise and still need outside run and class. They were thinking about taking him in the 2012 minidraft before settling on Hogan. They could make a big offer too.
Sydney is another one I'd tip to be in contention. He's obviously not homesick, and Sydney are well poised to contend for the next 5 years.
I doubt he will go to North. He could've gone at the end of 2017 at huge money, but turned it down. There will still be big money offers on the table for him, and they will be from contending teams.
Lol what?Melbourne would be a perfect location.
He’d be a fool to turn down the extension though.
This is an agreeable statement, it's true, however I assume james Dean is referring to the fact the extension is worth $1 mill or more a year, can't see anyone matching that, and whilst flags are great and every player wants one, leaving 250k+ a year on the table is a big sacrificeLol what?
If he's interested in winning a flag, GWS is one of the last places he should be.

Shiel turned down around that much from Carlton to sign for the Bombers.This is an agreeable statement, it's true, however I assume james Dean is referring to the fact the extension is worth $1 mill or more a year, can't see anyone matching that, and whilst flags are great and every player wants one, leaving 250k+ a year on the table is a big sacrifice
Lol, people like you were saying that about Kelly in 2017 when North Melbourne offered a colossus deal.It’s the money which he would be a fool to turn down
Again, everyone was saying this in 2017. North made an offer of over a million dollars for like 8-9 years; everyone was saying he'd be stupid not to take it and that he was gone for sure. Ended up re-signing for two years on less money.By the time the contact is halfway through GWS will be back in finals contention, their midfield is elite when fit.
Let's be honest, anyone would take the giant contract for security and salary.
Is he not able to trigger a 6 year, $1M a year contract? I thought that was what is available to him at the giants.Again, everyone was saying this in 2017.

Kelly will get good money wherever he goes. GWS's prospects for the next 5 years look bad. It's not difficult to envisage a scenario where he chooses to move.
There’s also no guarantee that if he went to a Vic club he would get ultimate success.It’s the money which he would be a fool to turn down
Lynch is the only big name recruit I can think of in recent years who actually won a flag.There’s also no guarantee that if he went to a Vic club he would get ultimate success.
Richmond and Geelong may only have a couple of years before their eventual decline. North look to have a multi year rebuild in front of them.
The bulldogs wouldn’t be prioritising him with their gun midfield.
Carlton, Collingwood, Hawthorn and Essendon may or may not be a long way off. Roll of the dice with these clubs really. Law of averages says one will probably succeed, one will fail and the other two probably end up middling out. Hard to pick which will end up where.
For me, Melbourne is probably the only club that projects well medium term list wise on current form. The Saints are also a wildcard.
Just as much chance for him to see success at GWS if he stuck it out for the next half dozen years than picking one of those sides. And the cash is excellent.
