If this gets anywhere near a top 10 pick, we need to walk away.
It sucks for Kelly but if he still wants to come home in 12 months, we can try again.
Alternatively Freo can come to the party but it doesn't look like he's high on the priority list at this stage.
It's an opening gambit.
Ignoring the fact that it's just recycled BigFooty/trade radio discussion, but if you read the words it's not actually that hard hitting.
'Unless the Cats receive a top-10 pick as a minimum for the gun midfielder, they will
attempt to
keep him at the club next season.'
- So they'll ask for one. As they should. But we don't have one...
'Geelong may also inquire about 195cm key forward Jarrod Brander, the first year goalkicker who was taken with pick No.13 last year and played one AFL game.
But it will still have to be Brander and a decent draft pick as well, rather than a straight swap for Kelly.'
- They'll ask, and we'll say no.
Which just goes back to the start of whether they think they can convince him to stay or will accept something else....
