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

[Scallop Industry Thug]

Wow, a lot of talent is gone from that list. Hopper and Whitfield would be the raid targets. Can't imagine Ash and Cumming are gettable.

Might get Mumford as a specky bag.

Just another player now. Onwards and upwards

might be one to look out for. Contracted until 22.

North Melbourne was one of few clubs with the scope to make a significant offer to Kelly - and the Kangaroos had the option of front-loading a deal to make it easier in the latter years - but they still did not match GWS’s term of eight years, the longest signed by a player since Lance Franklin’s nine year $10m deal with the Swans from 2013.

Eight year contract for a player that no one would have as competition Top 10? Or is even the best player in a middle of the road team? Would have loved him to play for us but....

Yep. Throw in his inability to play out a season year in year out. Glad we stuck to the 6 years, take or leave.

Let's get this f***er going in late 2029. Keen to hear those inside sources.

I’m still hanging out for in five years time GWS realise they’ve made a mistake, we’ll take em to the cleaners washed up J.Kelly for pick 69!!!!

 

[shinboner magic]

At least the giants aren’t getting another first rounder.

Snake lied to me

 

[Firebat]

Such is life. Pretty pleased that we didn't compromise a list spot for a 8 year deal, to be honest. He's a supurb player, but misses on average 4 or so games a year and sends to be hampered by injury a bit.

Move on. Good luck to him.

Taranto? Cumming?

 

[Kanga1996]

The late signing could suggest he tried to squeeze us for more money and years.

Exactly. His love of our club only extended as far as the negotiating leverage it got him. All power to him aswell.

Now let's get the absolute best out of Polec

 

[The Filth Wizard]

Taranto? Cumming?

He's not.

 

[Tas]

I am glad we didn't get into an ebay bidding way like some people here would have liked, expectation to keep the 8x$1m is delusional given his output since 2017. He is a good quality player, but that kind of money should be reserved for the top 10 players in the competition and he isn't remotely close to that.

 

[amaz199]

He won't come.

 

[Marksup]

It’s his loss this time. It hurt last time cause we needed him.

It would have been nice, obviously, but this time around we don’t need him.

 

[North Viking]

Dodged a massive bullet. Rejected 3 times and I’ll bet ppl will still say we are in with a chance in 2 years.

This thread is an embarrassment so many posters

shut the ******* thing down

 

[wazza03]

So they wanted us to match the 8 year time frame?
That's pretty good that we didn't.
Still need to find a really talented Mid to help these guys

Why Josh Kelly staying at GWS is good for North Melbourne

When Josh Kelly’s eight-year extension at GWS was announced on Tuesday evening, my instinctive reaction was ‘happy with that’. That was immediately followed by something along the lines of, ‘am I i…

“Jacob Hopper will sign a new two-year deal that’ll take him through to free agency at GWS,” Ralph said.

“He’s a local Riverina boy, his agent Robbie D’Orazio met up with Jason McCartney yesterday so that will all take care of itself post-season..

FMD Leeton is six hours from Sydney! Hopper is hardly local! I know I grew up in Leeton!
