Recommitted Tim Kelly [exploring trade options home to West Coast]

[Two Planks]

No. If you wanted a specific player you could have had the draft picks this year. You’ll get bugger all next year

Keep telling yourself that.

 

[Lunchlady Doris]

Yet why is Shiel allowed to just nominate Essendon. Come on, every player does it. Kelly is being unfairly singled out. Other players and trades are given a positive spin.

Kelly's allowed to do it too. But if Essendon didn't offer something the Giants wanted, he wouldn't be there.

 

[Pure_Ownage]

So we run purely on facts here.

The compensation pick for lycett counts as a first round pick. The second round pick on offer in this years draft is the second highest value second rounder available. On top of that Geelong wanted next years first round pick.

So Geelong wanted 2 first round picks and the second highest value second round pick in this years draft (which is considered to be the strongest in some time)

Even if you want to spin it in Geelongs favour.

That is pick 18,20,22 for a guy with major family issues who they picked up in the draft 12 months before hand for pick 24. They are within their rights to ask what they want but anyone trying to suggest they acted in good faith to get Kelly home or asked for reasonable compensation is a first class *******. The fact is they didn't give a flying **** about Kelly's situation and only wanted to do a deal if it was exceptionally in their favour.

Also remember they were dealing with West Coast, one of two clubs along with Hawthorn renowned across the league for getting deals done without fuss and paying a fair price.

Next year watch as the offer that gets done is West coasts first for Kelly and Geelongs second.

Geez thats some Iraqi misinformation minister level misdirect rubbish right there.

About sums up WCE supporters grip on reality though.

 

[Two Planks]

As long as Freo finish below the eagles on the ladder, he will be traded for fair value as he wont take the risk of entering any draft. Freo would pick him if he was available.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

And yet Sam Mitchell broke his contract with WC for similar reasons and is being celebrated for it by the media.

Huge double standards.

We are trading coaches now??

Weird how it’s a double standard when there is zero trading involved with coaching. Coaches don’t have currency to be floated or need to have trades arranged for an exchange.

 

[geelong_crazy26]

Sounds like you are the one making stuff up.

Actions speak louder than anything else.

If family was his priority he would have accepted the trade arranged to Fremantle.

I’m sure Ross and himself could have made up over a cup of coffee for whatever little insignificant thing hurt Tim’s feelings 12 months ago.

Both were one year into a contract, both were given a start in their jobs by respective clubs, both performed well and both wanted to leave due to strains on their relationships and family life.

Difference is, WC let Mitchell break his contract and you are right, got nothing in return for it. Wells the ******* scumbag, held onto Kelly because it didn't help the opposition and he got a year from a good player on the cheap.

Now Mitchell said he was leaving for a job at Hawthorn, we could have held him to his contract and set him up with our Victorian division, instead we released him to coach where he wanted. One club had integrity, one didn't.

Nah, Geelong is just staffed by low rate human beings. Wells and Scott aren't quality people and it show in their approach.

 

[La Dolce Vita]

Its ok I have been reliably informed that Vic clubs do not need any morals, values or human decency.
This only applies to non Vic sides

Better still using some twit logic you can somehow blame the interstate side for your woeful conduct

After you use him for a year be sure you trade him to a club he hates. Just so he is under no illusion you think he is a piece of crap

See these are examples of top quality melts. Fantastic stuff.

This is some next level stupidity, grow a brain.

Who is we? Says you support Essendon.

Auto correct for wc.

this...clearly he has been treated differently to virtually every player 'wanting to go home'

"it's different it's different !" Just insert twit bitter Geelong logic

Wells is an absolute scum bucket

 

[STPer18]

Still can't believe WCE didn't pay enough to bring the poor bloke home...

 

[DIG]

Maybe Cats played so hardball with Eagles because their premiership window is rapidly closing.

Giving away one of their best midfielders of the year to the reigning premier only makes it harder.

Now it’s not going to be the main factor but I wonder if it played a part in their thinking. If it were the Suns or Carlton it wouldn’t be a factor.

 

[La Dolce Vita]

So Mrs Kelly confirms Geelong have been treating her and family very poorly all year

well I'm shocked to be sitting here !

Lol this is brilliant.

Keep up the saltiness.

Won’t change the fact you didn’t get poooooooooor family tragic Tim home to his family lol.

Heartless geelong. Only managed to arrange a trade with 1/2 Perth clubs to send him home.

Such unspeakable monsters.

Lol coaches and footballers moving clubs aren’t apples for apples comparisons. Your not very bright if you think that.

Coaches move freely because it is a standard employment contract. There is no trade or currency involved like players require. Coaches move no different to how a staff member of any business moves to another organization in any setting. You may as well start telling me how the senior manager of BHP in Perth moved to Melbourne and that is related somehow as well.

But do go on how it’s the same again

 

[Wojcinski]

Lol La Dolce Vita and HurleyHepsHird are the same person. The melts are tasty today.

 

[DanWA]

Still can't believe WCE didn't pay enough to bring the poor bloke home...

Still can't believe Geelong are going to put a family through another year of hell after so many other clubs showed compassion to get players back to Geelong

It will not be forgotten

Much like 92 & 94 is not forgotten

I wonder if you'd care so much about Tim Kelly's family if he wasn't any good at football?

 

[La Dolce Vita]

Definitely not.

you lie

 

[HurleyHepsHird]

you lie

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection
