Boys and Cloke were busts (Boyd kicking one goal in GF doesn't justify his trade price), Schache has been average so far.Well they got Boyd, Schache and to a lesser extent Cloke

Anyone got a vid of Oscy's mark?
Not saying they weren’t busts but you said they failed to get KPPs through tradesBoys and Cloke were busts (Boyd kicking one goal in GF doesn't justify his trade price), Schache has been average so far.
More than that - it was between Shep, Jetta and Kane Lucas, and we briefly had all three!Well we wanted Jetta and got Shep and ended up with both. So maybe we might get Kelly and have Oscar

Need to wait 4 more years before making that call otherwise we are comparing eggs with cherry tomatoes.Realistically it has to be Kelly, especially when you consider that we had already drafted Brander.
Kelly is a top 10 player in the AFL right now, and the odds are that Oscar, notwithstanding his obvious talent, will never scale those heights. Kelly's current output, combined with his paltry draftee salary, probably makes him the most valuable player in the AFL this year.
I like Oscar, but I don't think he's necessarily been as good as we are rating him in this thread. He started strongly with five goals in two weeks clunking marks and showing tonnes of promise. He's failed to have much of an impact since then - lots of dropped marks and missed goals (that Port game notwithstanding). Statistically, he has kicked seven goals, taken six contested marks and had won 35 hitouts in eleven games. It must be said that he has been extremely fortunate to keep his spot in the team, due in no small part to timely injuries and the MC's willingness to keep him in the team, even as a defender.
Oscar may end up being a top line player, but Kelly is a top line player, and at a position of immediate need as we try to win more flags with our current senior group. The fact that Kelly is 24 is inconsequential, as that's the age at which you'd expect a player to hit that level anyway. The benefit to Geelong is that they get that ability for cheap while they are contending.
The better question might be Brander + Kelly vs Allen + Kelly.

If WCE don't get Kelly in at the end of this year there will be so many melts on bigfooty, particularly if Geelong bag out in the grandfinal and Kelly wins the brownlow.
I have no doubt we'll get Kelly this year.
Only thing is if Cogs is legit considering us how we make it work.
To think we're gonna have Kelly in our midfield next year...
Some people on here with very short sighted views on brander
