Recommitted Josh Kelly [re-signs with GWS]

[Colonial]

Any idea on length .. 3-4 years etc?

None.

Only what ch7 reported.

I know they were after longer contracts (like Haynes and Greene got) so am hoping it's 5 years or so.

Don't want to get Norths hopes up again (just jokes)

But in saying that nothings official so no counting of the chickens has happened.
No pun intended.

Last thing I want us a two year contract, although that does take him to FA. The club doesn't need the constant speculation.

 

[Wild Bill]

Channel 7 reporting he will re-sign.

No surprise. They freed up space to keep the mids they wanted to - Kelly and Cogs.

Well we will see ..maybe he signs for 6 ... Unfortunately the constant speculations is just situation normal these days...

We will indeed.

*Second last thing you want

Actually no.

Special player that he is I think if he's not willing to sign long term It might be better for the club to move on. Depends a bit on his reasons which wont be known publicly.

Was the decision made after watching Norths first 2 rounds?

I think GWS are primed for the next two years and Kelly. Losing him could see you fall short. I'd opt to let it ride if all you can get is two years.

That coupled with seeing Shiel's reaction in round after after the final siren. Better the devil you know...

I think the club will. I just dont like it.

Success matters a lot but culture and buy in from the playing group matter even more to a club still building culture.

Mark Stevens is full of s**t half the time though, so I'm not exactly convinced. He said the same about our Kelly multiple times last season, as did Jon Ralph and Tom Browne, who are both just as useless. I genuinely hope they're not making it up, as I would love to see both Cogs and Kelly stay at GWS for the long haul.

You guys have had too many players taken from you, and the Scully deal last year was an absolute rort. GWS deserves something back after all the losses (although both Kelly and Cogs outweigh all the losses IMO)

 

[Foucault1989]

If he does resign does this count as another miss for north or is it too early in the season? I thought he was wrapped up going to north at seasons end from reading in the know north posters

He wants to be at North, and every time someone shitcan's him because this very technical scenario does not snugly fit the receptors of their gratification emotional response mechanism, they are making themselves look stupid.

Good to see if true.

Will be interesting to see how long and how much.

And then that leaves Cogs.

 

[FlyHigh18]

Tome Browne's report sounds like he's trying to put in an out clause for himself.

If it gets rejected i think he'll only sign for 2 years.

Why make GWS and North supporters go through this pain

We're not in any pain. You should be over it by now.

Damn right.

They did, they got 2 first rounders for Shiel from Essendon, Scully was cheap, because of his ankle, and was a bargaining chip to secure the 2 first rounders. So Shiel and Scully for 2 1sts and a 4th isn’t a bad outcome.

 

[Nugett]

Hoping GWS does resign Kelly. That then let’s Cogs to weigh up his options.

 

[exxcessivve]

What does "two years with a six year option" mean? Like he plays for two years then the club gets to decide if they want to keep him for four more years? I really don't understand.

It's nonsense.

Where's it say that's the deal?
