List Mgmt. Josh Kelly to North II - It's Over

[Star]

267 pages of goo over a player that still isn't here, and has given no indication that he wants to be here, and mine is an ignorant post?

Sadly, given this is the second thread, it is probably over 600 pages.

I fear the afl would hand over pick 1 to the expansion club, Kelly for Horne no thanks.

Even Band 1 would come after their first pick

Theoretically but It’s the afl we’re dealing with here.

No worries Nostradamus.

667, becquse this is version two.

That is not even possible.

Only half joking, not beyond the afl.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Ben Cunnington doesn’t work hard at training? That’s ridiculous.

I can’t imagine he is doing the extra running that would be needed to be a 2 way midfielder in the modern game. Are you suggesting any of the young guys I posted are contested beasts like Ben that won’t need to work on their 2 way running?

I hear you. They pulled a multi-year "start again" set of expansion picks for McGold Coast out of their collective clackers.

Finding a reason to throw GWS a gift pick for losing an previous gift pick would hardly be breaking the laws of AFL physics.

Just checking in to arrivals but still no Jkelly

Pick 4 as it stands right now. They would cop that.

 

[Scottroo]

Josh has a big decision. He has three options

1. hold gws to the contract and not win a flag

2. renegotiate with gws, free some cap space

3. return to Victoria for market value and gws get compensated fairly

 

[KangaRooster]

Can't comment on the likelihood of him coming over, but the thought of Thomas Kelly Stephenson moving forward is unreal

Even though that is Collingwood's pick?

I thought they would get the first after their first pick.

Good point.

Pick 10.

Hmmmmm..........

 

[Star]

Pick 10.

For any other club, that's gold. For GWS, it's a dime a dozen

 

[Mordecai]

isn't it a no brainer - he should just take up that extension with GWS for billions a year?

You would think so.

 

[Snake_Baker]

If that were the case Mordy, it would have been a no brainer to not have the clause in the first place.

Not if he has it set in his mind that he wants to come home now

The clause was inserted to:

1) Get him to stay.
2) Cover his arse if he were to get badly injured.
3) Give him the option to bail when he was FA.

GWS just might have to make do with pick ~10, but they have had 8 years and ~150 games of bloody good service along the way, so it's not as if they are being completely dudded here.

Surely the main reason for the clause was to guarantee him $1M per year following his current contract expiring. If he's in good form he can get it as a FA if he cares to (and GWS are disinclined to match). If not he'll get it at GWS.

Can’t remember who posted it, but the ‘trigger’ can’t be part of an AFL player contract as it stands under current rules.

needed a laugh, this is the best hahaha
