Eh I mean who exactly are we going to drop from our midfield to fit Kelly in?
Hutchings, Masten and Redden - I'd select Kelly over all three.
A starting midfield of Naitanui, Shuey, Yeo, Sheed, Gaff and Kelly is not going to be relying too much on a tagger. Roles and gameplan will change based on what our squad looks like.
Masten isn't in the team. Redden is our inside mid that frees up Shuey or Yeo. Hutching's job on Sidebottom damn near won us the GF. Add to that both Redden and Hutchings are strong defensively. You actually do need some defensive mids.
So 2019 Tim Kelly —Averages
30 disposals a game ,
4.5 tackles
3.5 marks
9.5 clearances
4.5 Inside 50’s
And your suggesting you wouldn’t put him in your team ..

Didn't NN do an interview saying he'd absolutely take a pay cut next contract and just put the contract in front of him and he'll sign?
Dom Sheed v2019

7 clearances
5 inside 50s
4.5 rebound 50s
1 goal
Whose spot does he take in the Geelong midfield? Kelly, Dangerfield, Ablett, Selwood or Duncan?
Max Zero's point isn't without merit. Kelly in either means someone in the main midfield rotation out or someone in the HF/mid rotation out. We're not just going to drop Redden or Sheed to fit him into the centre square for the whole game. That's silly.
Why would we even entertain the idea of trading Brander, we spent a 1st round draft pick on him in a draft where we needed midfielders, plus he also grew up supporting us. We took both Brander and Allen before Kelly for a reason, if we let either one go it could be a reverse JK moment for us.
1. ShueyIs Kelly even in the top 10?
The midfield dynamic is an interesting point. Geelong have been rotating players in more this year but gaz and danger are really good upfront.
If we added Kelly we would have to rotate him through the wing and HFF to fit in all the players. At least with cogs he can play on inside role and has done tagging jobs previously so a upgraded hutch going by roles
Trust me we need a mid.'it's just which one we can get maybe even jack martin.A great backline and forward line makes the midfield seem better then it really is.
I don’t really care how the MC manage the midfield or what the team looks like
but if Wce trade/draft for Kelly I will be onboard..
IProbably similar situation for the guys that want Coniglio ..Good competition for spots in the team.

These things are somewhat important.
Likewise, if the price is right. If the asking price is two x first round picks I am on board with passing.
Similar except Coniglio has been better for longer.
I support getting Kelly as well but like you said only at the right price. Two 1st rounders is overs for a guy who we want but don't need.
Perhaps he could play on a HFF but we also want games into Allen, Brander and Petrucchelle.
No he would be in the centre getting clearances.9.5 clearances.which eagle is getting those figures.Last time I looked we are getting beaten in the clearnces and the stoppages but every other west coast midfielder is better then him.dream on.The midfield dynamic is an interesting point.

In - KellyEh I mean who exactly are we going to drop from our midfield to fit Kelly in?
Shuey, Yeo, Gaff, Sheed are set in stone.
Redden and Hutchings play completely different roles that are critical to team balance.
We always play two rucks.
Our defence is set (7 defenders with 1 rotating): Mcgovern, Barrass, Hurn, Jetta, Sheppard, Cole, Duggan.
The only place he may play is in the forward line (7 forwards with 1 rotating): Kennedy, Darling, Ryan, Rioli, Cripps auto picked. He would be competing with the like of Brander, Venables and Allen who we want to get games into.
Masto to a fwd pocket?In - Kelly
Out - Masten

RR V V8 uteConiglio easily, particularly if he comes as a FA.
