Universal Love Tim Kelly

[DanA]

Kelly is a good age for us. We've got a bit of a hole in that 22-25 bracket but good coverage in the 18-21 and 26-30 range

Benny thats too open to interpretation.. id start with the concept that Geelong rarely get plus value in trades. Then , it may be obvious , but all players are different .. and even if we arranged a trade with a kid like Cerra.. he is not the same or equal to Kelly.
Id start thinking about not trading him.. and if anyone want to lure him they best have some serious value.. but the equal player? I doubt anyone could ensure that.

Cerra right now is already better value than Kelly- Victorian, amazing skills, tough, so if that was a potential swap, plus our draft pick, yes for me.

Kelly and our R1 ... not for me. I want use my R1

Kelly plus rd 2?
But rd 1 would be fair.
Cerra would have gone #1 but had shoulder op before the draft.

Vdubs dont go down that path.... what he might have gone for , did or did not etc

We do not have an R2 to trade even if we wanted to...

Ok. It is not time for Cerra to leave yet anyway is it?
That path won't be trod on, but it is easy to see his sheer class.
Those draft ratings don't mean much anyway.
Stephenson surely should have been #1 given Cerra's surgery, but Stevo had his own predraft issues.

Kelly has "I want to go home written all over him" I doubt he will be at the Cats by 2020.

Blimey, i wish i was wrong on this one...but it really stood out to me way back on April 4th!

It would be interesting to be around when TK comes back to the lockeroom. I doubt there will be any cold shoulders, at worst pure professionalism like at most jobs. Are there any pranksters left at the club? I could see some joker filling up #11 locker with some random gear, maybe temp new name on wall. Depending on TK's relationship with the group, would be a funny ice breaker.

I actually believe Tim Kelly will stay. I reckon there is every chance he is holding off just to get a better deal from us. He isn't your average 18-year-old draftee. This could actually be the biggest and most important contract that he signs in his career. He's about to come into his prime. Nothing wrong with letting his footy do the talking, whilst his value goes up and up. He may also be hoping that we worry enough about his homesickness and up the ante. Nothing wrong with that, he has to get us much money out of us as possible. It really does make no sense for him to sign an extension now, I'm sure that's exactly what his management is telling him anyway.

NO HOPE HE WILL STAY. Geelong have proven their point.

Closing so there’s just one TK thread going at a time.
