Only team to have reportedly submitted an offer we all will know if he resigns or at the end of the year when he nominates.
LOL...

weel if there is one thing that I do know it is that every team that is interested in Kelly would have by now had a chat with Kelly's Manager and run their numbers past him. And for anyone to think it is only North to have done so is fanciful stuff.

Most likely would be a big list. I would speculate that even the Hawks would have had a crack. I can't imagine Clarko just sitting on his hands.

Yep.

This brilliant argument keeps popping up, there's no denying the facts.

Bottom placed clubs just can't attract players.

StKilda 2013 (16th) - Luke Delaney, Billy Longer, Josh Bruce
StKilda 2014 (18th) - Tim Membrey
StKilda 2015 (14th) - Nathan Freeman, Jake Carlisle

Thanks for illustrating the point. Not one is in Kelly class. All either had issues, or were not jet established. Carlisle had talent no doubt pre-trade, but also had a lot of baggage including suspension hanging over his head..


ALL clubs can attract players, including players from other clubs. It is very, very difficult for a bottom club however to attract an out and out gun though. Very rare occurrence.

We didn't leak it.

His manager who - you may need to take your shoes and socks off here as big number counting is coming - gets a "percentage" leaked the offer in an effort to drive up Josh's value, and thus his payment.

Actually, we won't go into the financial details as I realise your keeper will not have had time yet to untie your shoelaces for you.
Nice attempt at bravado and acting like a know it all but 4% aint really that big.

Why does everyone seem to think we will be a bottom side for years to come?
We haven't won the spoon since the 70's and i think we will atleast finish midtable next year.
Out of interest, of the teams currently in front of you who do you see you finishing in front of next year?

I don't think you will be a bottom side but I don't see you playing finals for a few years even with Kelly or Dusty

Reckon Kelly will be at Carlton next season. He has plenty of mates playing there and has been strongly linked in media. I just hope Brisbane keep losing so that the Blues tanking won't get them the spoon and the first pick in the PSD. Could be used as a big stick in bargaining for Kelly.

His best mate is at the Bulldogs...

Thanks for that fact snookers
Why not the Dogs though? Drafted with Boyd to the Giants, best mates with The Bont. Or is the drive from Brighton to Footscray too prohibitive, you think?
Maybe he can circumvent that by driving to St Kilda marina, jumping in to his 42 foot Cruiser, landing it on Altona beach where The Bont can pick him up in his Mercedes Ute? Not a bad way to travel to work, across Port Philip Bay.

Because building a premiership list is exactly the same as it was 10 years ago let alone 40-50 years ago

I think you're about to find out how hard it is

And all of them are as full of bullshit as the next one
Let's be fair. Some are a lot worse than others and that's starting from a very low base.

Is there a good reason that North supporters are so sure that kelly will go to them?
That's not to say it's all North supporters, but where does this bravado come from?

To be fair it isn't just North supporters who do this. Take a look at any team board and if you were to follow it, then there would be 150 contradicting trades occurring every season.

Let's throw $100 on that.

Everyone seems to know something.
Clearly Kellys management is playing us for fools.....some more than others though. :)
Don't be so absurd.

I'm not interested in meeting you or giving you my personal details.
