Recommitted Josh Kelly [re-signed]

[TheKanga]

How much are the saints offering?

Contract $$ and length

 

[Sarcoidevo]

Why is money and contract length the be all and end all??

I have no doubt that our skilful negotiation team down at the Saints are not that desperate to allow this information to filter into the public domain.

Kelly will accept an offer far more conservative than North's proposition. The chance for Josh to reunite with his best mate Jack & to play under Richo who his players see as a father figure is too good to refuse. I'm hearing he wil sign for 450-500k pa.

I could see something around 5 million over 6 years.

Richo would wear the pants for sure.

Def a pitcher. Ameet the catcher

Word is that Kelly doesn't want to sign a long term deal (a la North's 9 year offer) due to the belief that the salary cap will continue to rise, thus meaning he will miss out on some good pay in the future.

100% so he will go to man united.

I think you'll find that most AFL players would half a clause in their contract that if the CBA rises their pay rises with it.

That is my suspicion, too, which is why I did not lend too much credence to this talk. However, it could be accurate in that North's offer might be locked, such that there is no room for adjustment either way (e.g whether that's a pay cut due to performance drops, or a pay rise due CBA increases).

Or it could be another reason altogether. Perhaps Kelly genuinely believes that he will be worth more than $1M per year in the future (CBA rises notwithstanding) hence does not want to be locked in.

Tactically North shouldn't even bother. It's patching over holes in a team that needs a rebuild. Just prolongs the pain as Kelly would probably lift the Kangas 2-5 spots on the ladder ensuring worse picks at each consecutive draft.

I can see Saints interest but hope GWS can hold onto him as their window is different to the Blues window of 4-5 years in the future. Hoping Carlton can steal Hopper but doubt it will happen if Kelly goes.

That's serious.

Gone. Scully written all over it.

Care to elaborate? We have three more players to replace in the next three years, a truckload of good kids, millions of dollars in cap space, could easily be 5-2 right now and we just destroyed the flag favourite. Don't just swallow the media narrative, we're fine.

Fair call
If Kelly does go suddenly we've got cap space to keep Hopper in the style he wants to become accustomed to. If he stays coukd be a difficult conversation with Matt Kennedy, Hopper and by all accounts definitely Devon Smith

Josh's trade choices.

1) North. The club his father played for and the club he grew up supporting + 9 years x $1,000,000 + A rapidly rebounding developing young list.

2) A club with whom he has no connection that has a history so bad they include write ups of their reserves and under 19 premierships in order to fill up their wiki page + 6 years x $1,000,000 + a young list that has been a slooooow burner.

The choice is that there is no choice. It's option 1.

"Emotion" would have renewed a contract months ago.

North Melbourne:

2014: 6th
2015: 8th
2016: 8th
2017: 14th (currently)

Rebound (v): bounce back through the air after hitting something hard.

North certainly got the 'hitting something hard' part right, but to call it even close to a rebound is factually incorrect. Like a bungee jump without the rope.

You've literally been irrelevant for close to 20 years.
