Surely he is in line for a Rising Star- or is he too old?

He has to be too old. Otherwise he would have won most of them.

Nice puff piece by Cometti on Tim in today’s West Australian Newspaper
Overall impression was very , very positive towards the Cats and how well the family has settled
In terms of drafting we were well into him with several contacts made throughout the year by Troy S and Wells - the last just before the draft so he knew we were well into him.
A few Clubs including Eagles expressed interest but seems we were the most proactive and keen
Emphasised how much he and the other mids revel in training and learning from the big 3
Came across as humble and articulate and quite content with how it’s all worked out for him

Cometti stayed away from the return home question but overall a very positive interview

Further down the page there's an interesting clip of a player in an U12 basketball match.

The team who beat his mob in the final of the tournament must have had some pretty handy players, that's all I can say.

I keep hearing talk of him returning home, as if it's almost a given, and yet I've not actually seen anything to suggest that's the case? Have I missed something or are people just assuming because he has a young family he and his girlfriend/wife will want to move back to be with the extended family?

There seems to be a defeatist attitude when it comes to retaining this guy on the list and I don't really get it.

Other than his manager making one comment regarding a contract extension not being signed by him yet with him "having a young family" as a potential reason for not signing it, there is SFA from TK himself.

There can be arguments made both ways where Kelly will sign up for. IMO it will come down to security, size and length of his first contract negotiation. Kelly is 24 turning 25, the next three years may well be his highest earning years and with three kids and at 25 already it wouldnt be surprising if he chased the best contract he can get. Its not like he is single turning 20 with 90% of his career ahead of him.

What is in Geelongs favor is he can't sign an extension with another club for another 17 months. He can sign next week with Geelong and have that security now. Big benefit for Geelong to retain him.

All true .. im sure Geelong has offered him a contract that would at least give him the chance to lock in the next couple of years.. but even at Geelong there would be some logic holding off. Is Ablett still on the list at the end of 2019? HarryT certainly goes... so there will be money to really get a significant contract in Y3 and on.
Im not sure WC will have more money than us or not .. but as long as he keep his current level of performance up , hopefully gets better..then he will get a contract that is worthy of his services

please, please don't say that Pickering is his agent!

You don't think Pickers has regrets about GAJ? Actually, no he wouldn't

 

[Benny78]

If he does leave will we get an equal player in return?

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.

 

[Isaac Norm Smith]

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.

Considering he didn’t get his bonus and got kicked out of the company I would say Karma worked out well for him in the end

 

[catscratchfever]

I like what Kelly does in general but he does seem to tend to go missing when the heat is really applied. Still, I hope he stays. Beautiful kick, just quietly - Danger could learn a thing or 2 from him in that department.

West coke will have a hard time keeping 3 big name free agents and will have to fork out a lot of cash to keep all 3. I can’t see them having much cash to throw around.

I have heard its over multiple years ..they want to attack Coniglio when he comes out of contract so its not just the 3 this year. They may decide to set a line ..and let the three go if they are too expensive.

I really hope Kelly stays for a while.. he is not THAT old. He will get a very good contract from geelong.. and if he wants to go home after 4-5 years it would still be there for him. he suits our current setup and should only get better

He’s only 13 games into his AFL career. Give him time.
