Was talking earlier today to my cousin who worked at North for a long time- including in recruiting in the 90's- and we got onto Kelly, and I mentioned how we're also into him, and to that he responded that he spoke to someone at North recently, who he trusts "implicitly", (presumably in their recruiting team, who he worked with when he was there) who told him that he's not going to North and that he's expected to stay at GWS, but if he leaves, it will be to Carlton.

Jake Niall was on On The Couch tonight and said that "all the clubs in the hunt for Kelly believe that he's staying at GWS" and named Carlton and North specifically as two of the clubs who are of this view.

Said that Josh hasn't told GWS of his intention to stay tho, so it wouldn't surprise me at all if he's waiting to see if GWS win the flag this year or not, and will leave if they do.

Word is that North have got a plan C for when Kelly doesn't choose them. $800k for 7 years for Chris Mayne. Yep, you heard it here first - Mayne will be the big fish the shin boners were after.
This legit mate? Who's your source? Huge if true.

Chris is a Gun. Rated him since juniors u/12s. Spewing bucks knicked him on a bargain for that many years. 17 clubs missed the boat with the biggest free agent of the year last season for mine.

Yeah mate, huge news I know. Can't name names but my source, who gets good info from the North inner sanctum, reckons the Kangas are rapt with this "diamond in the rough" signing and feel that Mayney will be the lynchpin of their forward line along with Brown. He's ready to take the reigns from Jarrad Waite and fits their list profile. They feel Mayne is ready to explode and epitomises the Shin Boner spirit.

Yea, Niall is one of the better journos and said Kelly is likely to stay, but north are ahead if he does leave.

They are all just guessing at this stage.

Yep, North have pulled the wool over everyones eyes yet again, the crafty buggers. Dusty and Kelly were smoke and shadows behind the windows, as Travis Cloke would say. The real target has been right under everyones noses the whole time. What's Steven Morris' contract status like btw? Always thought he had a bit of shinboner in him.

If we got his nomination i wouldn't be suprised to see us do what hawthorn did to gold coast and trade out pick 7 or 8 day 1 of trade week.

Leaving 7/8 this year and next years first to satisfy gws.

Actually think if Kelly stays which I doubt , because why ain't he signed no reason for delay.

But if he does sign , I would offer 7/ 8 to Gold Coast for Tom Lynch and pick 19 pretty clear he will move next year
if they continue to be a basket case.
Hopefully go draft pick 19 get Lochie Obrien / Naughton / Coffield with that pick

I think there is next to no chance Lynch gets traded this year.
