so you source must know josh, or his manager?

did Josh wake up and say, yeah, im 50% staying, but 45% change, i might pick carlton, but **** it 5 % fo other teams? really.
what money has carlton offered? how about the saints? have they actually made offers?

Who has he met with? any Clubs yet? I know one that has met with him....
Kelly is my daddy.

The Carlton sources are typically fairly spot on with what they post. They're not like the North bloke who just claimed Dusty to North was a certainty.

Very possible that they know someone who is associated with Kelly and knows of his thinking.

I honestly doubt Kelly has even made a firm decision at this stage. With GWS being a flag contender I think winning a flag could have a huge bearing on him staying or going.

Ha, that's not what that means at all. Wow you North fans are hilarious.

By we don't do that it pretty clearly means that he's not going to openly state the clubs who have presented Connors with offers for his client. Why would he?

Not that hard to understand really. :$
I think you've just chosen to interpret it that way to suit your argument.
He clearly said they were only talking to two clubs.
He said the offer from North was $10mill over more than 7 years. He wouldn't just mention the value of one deal and not other offers - that in itself is an illegal form of bid shopping via advertising the commercial value of a live deal to other clubs you're negotiating with.

I'd like him to sign, but I only think he's a 40-50% chance. Im not trying to make stuff up to feel better about my club and upset people on Bigfooty ffs.

I think you're just trolling and don't really know what you're talking about.

The plan was always Kelly but to push richmond up to 1.3 million. So far so good.
When is benny brown out of contract?

Will either stay or join his buddies at the blues.
Kangas will miss out, they should try to load up for the draft anyway
I could see richmond making a play for kelly

deledio and yarren money off the books and a generally well managed salary cap.

Kelly would enjoying linking up with Prestia, Cotchin, Nankervis, Martin and give him a serious chance of success, unlike north whos list looks shot

Not really because players have been offered more money (Dusty) and longer contracts (Franklin) without even going with the inflated worth of ablett/judd deals.

Clearly he wants to come home either now or after winning a flag with gws, you won't get much when he leaves via free agency in 2 years should he stay.
Yes really.
After 6 years you guys still think you can screw us on trade deals.

He was going to re-sign unril the godfather deal north offered. He isnt homesick.

No we probably wouldnt then if it happened. But he is FA now.

ben brown is ooc end of 2018. will be recontracted once trade period is over, that way structure of contract is worked out.

Richmond didnt want to pay Dusty what they did, how in hell are you going to pay Kelly.....?

you are correct, he aint home sick.
he just now, after getting a massive offer wants to come home.
his family would love him to come home
the only reason nothing has been done, is cause GWS are still in finals.

the salary cap next season is: $12.45m

richmond only really are spending big on Cotchin, Rance, Martin, Jack. Outside of Dusty they took unders to keep the team together

there will be numerous players moved on like Maric, Morris, Hunt

the Lids Yarren money will come off the books eventually

richmond will have more cash to play with than people reckon i think

Did he buy a bay side house? That will pretty much wipe out Essendon, North and Carlton if true.
Why?

his family are in Brighton, hes bought in elwood....
i suppose that property is vacant till he moves back? or maybe its leased out?

alot of players live in areas away from the club they play for.

after footy. one of you posters put it up, but i have deleted my post, as it will just cause a stir.
apparently they are setting him up a helping-kids foundation post footy cause likes kids

and it would be naive to think they are not doing other things also, inside the rules.

yet it was a random as heck answer you produced

I know we have been waiting for weeks for the afl to sign of on some post footy stuff we were packaging up. I think that and the coteries doing their thing has bridged the gap

but it goes to show they money is on their minds, in able to afford him. if that the case, finding another 1.1ish fir kelly would not be that easy! if you guys have success, im guessing a few others will be putting their hands out fir more.....as they should.
