Hey GG, from what Afl.com is saying. Josh Kelly might make his way over to Blues

Would this trade scenario satisfy the Giants in your honest opinion? Trade b/w Giants and Blues only

Josh Kelly & Matthew Kennedy for
Blues #3, 2017 Draft
Crows 2017 First Round Pick
Crows 2018 First Round Pick

North Melbourne no way could offer Giants something as good as this for Josh Kelly and Matthew Kennedy
Hey gillo, do you wanna buy my ferrari for $1?

I don't own a ferrari, and don't have the means to ever own one.

But you'd buy my ferrari for $1 wouldn't you?

No, I never ever said that.

I never thought North would get Dusty. Go and find a post where I did.

Kelly is leaving GWS, you guys have finally accepted that.

And he's coming to North.

The reason we went so hard at Dusty is because we've known we have Kelly in the bag for a while.

How will you feel when he puts on the navy blue?

It was a question calm the farm.

A lot of your fellows did.

More we think he is gone and cant blame him, but theres still an element of hope he will be loyal to us.

If you say so.

Would the lad accept less to play alongside Cotchin, Prestia, Rioli, Dusty and co. ?

perhaps values the chance of success more than being associated with north in the short-medium term

by a similar thought process could seeing him signing up with GWS long term

Which they traded a late first rounder and pick 11, to be apart of?

They had the foresight to get involved by taking a risk. Point stands. Adelaide don't have a top 10 draft pick on their list.

Development > recruiting personnel > splashing the cash for the right free agents that add value > bottoming out.
Come on mate, completely envious of Adelaides position. You certainly seem to be able to pick them but you can't say the mini draft wasn't a free shot at one of the best 17 year olds in the country?

yep it would take some brave accounting but the way i see it is it couldnt be worth a try. Trading out something like Grigg or Hampson would be a real bonus - getting a good deal for a Sam Lloyd or Miles, who deserve to play afl would help a lot too along with the rest of the natural list evolution

Kelly has always been plan A. We tried to get him in the mini draft
dusty was the 11 million dollar plan b

Every club is like that. Richmond under Terry Wallace had a couple of players who shower promise but had a long way to go. Unfortunately they never got there. Nobody has a clue where North's list will be in 5 years.
Tasmania?

Whatever Kelly decides to do, there's going to be a lot of disappointed people on here. A lot of people are going to look silly when he makes his decision. Will be a good laugh when that time comes.

He has re-signed a few times.
Some plan A.

In the scenario Blues don't get Crows picks what you think of this trade.

Blues Picks #3, #38, #75 in 2017 Draft
&
Blues 2018 First Round Pick
Blues 2018 Second Round Pick
Blues 2018 Third Round Pick
Blues 2018 Fourth Round Pick

for

Josh Kelly, Jacob Hopper, Matthew Kennedy
&
GWS Picks #25, #63 in 2017 Draft
&
Giants 2018 Second Round Pick
Giants 2018 Third Round Pick
Giants 2018 Fourth Round Pick


Is this an appealing deal?
This is a scenario I think Blues would be pleased with. Sure we give away top draft picks but sets us up. Late 2017 picks allow us to get Liam Hickmott and Downgraded picks for 2018 allow us to get Ben Silvagni Will Hickmott and Oskar Marton.

Giants get high draft picks and upgraded picks
