Josh Kelly to saints?

Remove this Banner Ad

Rumour that Saints are meeting Josh Kelly tonight. GWS need draft pick points because they have four academy kids coming through next year.

It's been a rumour for a while that the Saints were into him but Stevie J's arrival apparently has speeded up the process.

All rumours by the way

5 seconds of research and u will discover hes contracted for the next 2 years.Most logical player to step into Treloars spot.We wont give up Mccarthy....0% chance Kelly.........Total BS.....Close the thread
 
Would be huge get. GWS surely won't have all of Treloar, Lamb, Plowman, Tomlinson, Phillips, Sumner, Hampton + Kelly go. They have to decrease their list so ok to let Phillips, Lamb etc go but already two very good talents in Treloar (gone) and Tomlinson (???) on market. Can't let Kelly go too.

Hypothetically though:
Pick 5 to Crows for 9 & 13
Pick 9 + ??? to GWS for Josh Kelly
Pick 13 to Essendon for Jake Carlisle

Thoughts? I don't know how GWS and Essendon would view it but personally think it's pretty close considering circumstances around each one.

2016 2nd rounder for Freeman.

In: Carlisle, Kelly, Freeman, 2015 second rounder (24), third rounder (45), fourth rounder (64)
Out: 5, 2016 2nd rounder (22-30), ????, Schneider
 
Any trade would involve almost certainly involve St Kilda's 2016 first rounder (and whatever else).

If GWS had that in their back pocket, they could either elect to take it to the draft, or split it up into a multitude of weaker picks that, combined, have a greater points value. That flexibility would be extremely handy to have, as it saves them from chasing extra picks in the trade period next year to pay for several up and coming academy kids, and potentially being ripped off by clubs who would attempt to capitalise on their potential desperation.

They don't need to decrease their list.

Pretty sure they were already under the required limit.

Also, pick 9 and what for Josh Kelly? He is a contracted pick 2 who has played like pick 2. Gun in the making.

46 on the list for the moment which is the max for the next season so have to move on the equal amount of players that we want to bring in, plus need to create some cap room with the likes of Whitfield coming out of contract next year

All well and good but then they wouldn't have one of the most promising guys on their list anymore.
 
What? He's a vastly different player from Treloar
Not that different at all, but clearly you know our players better :rolleyes:

The guy is a mid, has some speed and a tank like Treloar. Great by hand and foot, like Treloar. He has been playing wing and forward as he builds size. He is determined to play both outside and inside, like Treloar. If he puts on some bulk this pre-season, he'll be in the thick of it.

Doesn't mean it's going to happen. If you're relying on Kelly to win clearances you'll be in trouble.
