List Mgmt. Josh Kelly to North II

[The Y Factor]

This is all lovely, but whats the bloody rumour

 

[King Corey]

So what you’re saying is the ‘paper bags full of cash and a dozen hookers’ strategy is no more?

Colour me disappointed.

Actually based on TAO's prose, that could still be our strategy.

It's just you now have a time limit < 5 years within which to accept.

 

[Ball Dont Lie]

Hmm would he get a game with two premiership players in bailey and Polec on each wing? Be good depth but he needs to clean up his disposal

 

[King Corey]

Meanwhile over on the AFL giants board the Josh Kelly Megathread has surged into a 2nd page.

Suffice to say this bloke generates hype no matter his status.

 

[Sillygit]

This is equal parts hilarious and peak january insanity.

Also, what exactly is the point in speaking in riddles about this? Do you think there's a contract clause that instantly voids if any agreements are spotted on Bigfooty?

Or is it for plausible deniability? Never really "said" anything so not technically wrong. Can't lose credibility. Works only on the theory that speakin in riddles creates credibility, mind you.

 

[North Viking]

Ok I can add this with the knowledge that no campaigner would know even if we did offer Kelly a new deal. Well apart from those involved, we're no longer the amateur clowns we once were. And have closed ranks around who holds information around trades, trust me I know, what was once easy to find out has become impossible to a point. I did hear we were going to draft Walker and told a few on here that. But figured that wasn't classified information as such as he's not a 'big fish'.

If and IF is a big stretch we did offer a deal, it won't be left open with our balls swinging in the breeze while he decides whether he's coming, or shopping an improved deal with say GWS. It will be negotiated and dealt with either way!

We got played badly in the past and won't let that happen again.

About F$&king time!

I'm not. There is no conclusion to this story that ends in him donning a royal blue and white.

Maybe a loan to QPR over the summer?

 

[Sillygit]

I'm not. There is no conclusion to this story that ends in him donning a royal blue and white.

Maybe we've got a handshake agreement for him to take over from Shaw in ten years?

 

[hilly]

We used to leak like an Italian cruise ship and now I hear very little. They've gotten better.

We will have another crack but the proof will be in the pudding.

Make it happen Mulder/Tom Scully

 

[fusion]

He'll be the next Jade Rawlings - will eventually get to us, but when he's washed up, and will play just a handful of games. He's had his chance to come to us twice - If he doesn't want to play for us, I wouldn't be making him offers of mega dollars again.

GWS B&F for 2019 was Taranto 222 votes, Cameron 220 votes, Hopper 218 votes, Haynes 206 votes and Williams 203 votes. Coniglio, Greene and Kelly didn't make the top 5 due to injury issues/missing games.

Even though Kelly is a good player, early on when we showed interest in him the hype was off the charts because there was the expectation he would continue to improve but 2017 was the pinnacle of what we have seen from Kelly to date and I think a lot of giants have gone past him the last couple of years since we made our bid for him. By the time he is a free agent he might not even be in GWS top 10 players.

At this point in time, am still keen on him as a 2021 restricted free agent, but I think what he is worth has plummeted significantly and it was the danger of knocking back the kind of money we offered to him in 2017. Hopefully our warchest is significantly depleted by the end of 2021.

Quite disappointing that this thread has only moved 2 pages since yesterday

Especially since IT's HAPPENING!

Should the Go Dees finish VERY low in 2020, I’d be filthy to give away 2 x 1st rounders for him, especially when he’s a RFA the following year

The only benefit I see, is that North finally lands its big fish, just to shut a few mouths, but even still, I think we can get more enterprising with those picks

Another year like the one just gone, and he’s worth a first and second at best.

My money is on him having a Top 5 Brownlow year though and GWS asking for four first rounders.

Spot on. Because of injuries he’s gone backwards a touch since our first offer. He should still turn out to be the player most expected, but he’d want to start playing 20+ games a season.

 

[the Ziebull]

I want to see a poor year from him
Buy low people

 

[Bigeasy]

If it takes pur 2 first rounders to get Kelly, then hope the club pulls the trigger.

Really? 2019 form and fitness suggests not.

 

[The Filth Wizard]

He has been injured.

What would you pay for Dusty Martin's 2019? I bet it's a hell of a lot more than his 2018.

Yes he had an injury interrupted year last year but anyone who wouldn't hand over our two first rounders is kidding themselves.
