OK. So the only logical thing to do at this point is to bomb threat the GWS presser today?

Is that the general consensus agreed upon on this board?

 

[SpiderBurton22]

Why would Josh announce it now?

He is a 2 weeks early, bye week is when he announces his new contract.

Leon Cameron just knocked it on the head. Josh is doing a presser but nothing to do with his contract. It's just his turn.

Leon Cameron is on SEN and has confirmed it's just a regular presser..

He went on to say it's always a concern when someone like Josh hasn't signed .. maybe giantroo can chase down the audio.

To be fair. Not like he is going to spoil his own clubs press conference is he.

I think the footy media is ridiculous when it jumps down rabbit holes, and then I come here. Next level pre-emptive hysteria, well done team.

AFL 2017: Josh Kelly to sign contract extension with GWS

Sam McClure
Jan 30, 2017

Greater Western Sydney young gun Josh Kelly is set to ignore the lure of several Victorian clubs by signing a short-term contract extension with the Giants.

Kelly, who is out of contract at the end of the season, will soon put pen to paper on a new deal with the outright premiership favourites.

It's understood the deal is likely to be just two years, keeping him at GWS until the end of 2019.

The Giants and Kelly's management are comfortable with the length of the deal.

For Kelly, a short-term extension allows him to concentrate on his football at the Giants, while it also doesn't fully shut the door on a return to Victoria in a couple of years' time.

Kelly has played 60 games in his three seasons at the Giants, including all 24 games last year, which included a career-high 30-disposal game in the round 18 win over Adelaide.

He's rated as one of the best young talents in the league and was being closely watched by rival clubs.

The Giants, meanwhile, are in a unique position where they have several young players of high calibre that will all demand significant pay rises for their next contracts.

Midfield gun Dylan Shiel, who is also out of contract at the end of 2017, is a top priority for the Giants to re-sign before the end of the year.

Several Victorian clubs were hunting the smooth moving left-footer in 2015 before he inked a two-year extension midway through the season.

The Giants remain quietly confident that Shiel will stay beyond this year, given the potential success the club may have in the coming years.

Shiel is now in the position that Kelly most likely will be in two years; a genuine midfield star that Victorian clubs will be offering big money to.

Swingman Adam Tomlinson is also out of contract at the end of the season.

Tomlinson had previously found it hard getting a regular start in the star-studded GWS line-up, but found a home in defence at the end of last year, playing the last 10 games, including the qualifying and preliminary finals.

Another strong year from the Victorian could see big offers for him to return home, having been strongly linked to Carlton in the last two off-seasons.

On the field Western Bulldogs captain Ryan Griffen has been the standout on the track since the start of GWS' pre-season, while prized recruit Brett Deledio has been training strongly and is likely to play as a half forward, joining forces with Steve Johnson and Toby Greene.
