Ahh the draft and trading board. The only time people use irrelevant members of the media with a hit rate of about 10% as a credible source for their club atracting a gun player. Sorry to break the news guys, Brett Anderson is as credible as Damien Barrett.
Barrett is at his most credible when he is sifting through their rubbish.

Are you kidding?

He is worth every inch of the contract. History will view this as a steal when/if it goes ahead.
If his manager is as good as everyone thinks he is it would be linked to the salary cap.

Hense itll go up when the cap does.

But once again. If it was down to blue and white blood he wouldn't need that much for that long to sign on.

Caps are important.

No way the roos pay him that if he was so emotional about going there.

Hell its even said they will raise their offer should another Vic team come alongand offer the same.

But no. He bleeds blue and white

He'll stay.

You couldn't ask for a better shot at a premiership over the next 2 seasons.
Yup agree.

GWS will pay him $800k pa which is close enough to the yearly salary he would be getting at North/StK.

But what if a club offers him $1.3M-$1.5M pa? Then I think he leaves. I don't believe 9/9 gets the deal done though.

It is/will be down to blue and white and we want him stitched up nice and tightly and for the money he's worth.

A million bucks will likely be 5-6% of the salary cap in 2023, and I expect a 28 year old Kelly to be worth every piece of 5-6% of the cap. It will be a steal. What club wouldn't take a 28 year old Kelly for that?! Good times!

You keep telling yourself that.

It would be.
Yet its a fair bet his salary goes up as as much percentage wise as the cap does.

LOL, I love how you try to deal with your cognitive dissonance by downplaying young Josh as some type of soulless automaton if he goes to North.

I expect you will be lauding his love for the club and the outstanding culture of Blacktown if he stayed.

Let's get down to tin tacks.

It will be our 1st and 2nd round picks if we end up in the bottom 4.

We have some serious gold to mine in the 2018 draft.

No chance.

Will need 2 top 1st rounders to start.

or if he categorically says i want to go to north (or whereever) only, will gws take a first and second, or will they play hardball, and let him walk to the psd? these are all things no-one knows till the time it gets to their.

there are alot of people saying he should stay for two years, win flags then come back to Vic, but premierships arnt guaranteed, and if he has a o'meara type injury, will get paid no where near whats on offer (by nth or stk).
the other thing people are also suggesting is he would have a heap of pressure on him if he was to leave.....Hes been playing prett well with the pressure on him currently.

GWS have been holding off signing others, waiting fir a decision.....guess what, their have been a few signings of late, so JK will either sign very soon, or hes gone.

Would North risk trading poorly and letting him go to say the Lion's through PSD?

As ive said before the Giants wont be ridiculous in their trading. But i dont think North are going to try and screw us either.

Getting a fair trade isnt hardball. North think he is worth 9 mil for 9 years then they have to put up in the trade as well.

If i see Smith and the others all sign on then ill know 100%, at the moment its a gut feel he is gone.

He is worth two first rounders and that's what you will get, if he gets tagged next couple of weeks we will see how good he really is.
