Will the Tim Kelly trade go down as one of the worst ever ?

[donaldknuth]

Not sure you're in a position to 'educate' anyone. McPharlin was one of the comps best KPD for almost a decade.

And Kelly will come good. Nothing wrong with going hard at an A-grader when you're in a premiership window.

Reality check: ... PICK 1.

LOL, the stupidity of that deal peaked when Hawthorn beat you in the 2013 Grand Final with Hodge and Mitchell.
Just LOL.

These players that came up through state leagues seem to hit the ground in the AFL but have a short shelf life.

Sam Mitchell?

Incidentally then trade that gave the Hawks the pick that the Hawks used on Mitchell could also be considered in this list, although none of them match the infamous Stephen O'Reilly trade, which in another coincidence, also had its origins in a decent Geelong player going back west

 

[blitzer]

This thread is going to be bumped every time he plays a decent game. Its way way too early for this. We don't even know if the picks they gave up are even going to be decent players yet and won't for some time.

Others did, club stalwarts. And there’s your sh*t on the liver.

So FOS

Cool.
Don’t get so lit about your apple cart, not my fault it’s been upset.

 

[Farang83150]

Hasn't, just saying what so obvious, no ones bitter at TK apart from Chris Scott and you for some strange reason.

 

[bzparkes]

Why is there a Richmond fan complaining about Kelly 'family support' when his peaheart club has players refusing to leave the state?

 

[WestCoast05]

Pretty sure you're the upset one in this thread.

Seriously, you actually care that he took his family with him to the hub. As a West Coaster I don't even care, at least he went to the hub..

 

[mightymouse75]

Would have paid that for ablet when be was 26.
Not kelly

 

[Vaska]

B grade mid. Solid without being great. Paid overs. It happens. Not the worst trade ever though.

Cool as a cucumber...anyway you might not but then again you‘re not a player seeing divas in action.

Time will tell.

Yeah I'll give you that - you are keeping your cool consider you are having to currently see the Richmond divas in action..

Great news. Thread about T Kelly trade turned into Eagles vs. Richmond...you certainly know how to West Coast BF style.

IMO Pick 1 and Pick 36 (or whatever it was for Mitchell) meant a lot more to Hawthorn than it would have to Fremantle.

Sometimes we make the assumption that player X or Y would have been the same player no matter which team they joined - and that it's the recruiter's fault for picking duds. However, environment and influences count for so much at a club. I don't think - with all due respect - Hodge would have been the same player at Freo that he was at Hawthorn. Fremantle were consistent cellar-dwellers at the time IIRC and, as GC and Melbourne show, that's not great for anyone's development. They needed a developed player to set themselves up and support younger players.

There's certainly no guarantee that Freo would have selected Sam Mitchell.

Kelly is a gun and I think he will come good shortly. Eagles back home and I suspect will get a roll soon. They are in the window and their decision to go hard for him makes sense. Why wouldn't you if it's about winning premierships?

I often wonder if some posters have ever played sport .You can't always be up and form varies.

For mine, the silly part of this trade is not the value - it's that they went a year too late. They might have snagged one if they got Kelly last year. This year, with another year on the likes of Hurn, Kennedy, NicNat etc, it's a bit late.

 

[Kaatman]

Possibly correct.

 

[Maylandsman]

Yeah you mighta helped with that too though hey

Yeh nah. You’ll have to quote me on that...

He's a certified richmond troll, always very bitter about WC, better to put him on ignore as I've done.

Sure you have - replies to posts then says that has poster on ignore. Classic. Certified eh.

 

[MotlopMagic]

I’d reverse the trade in a heartbeat.

Geelong received pick 14, 24, 37 and what is looking like a top 5 pick in 2020. As well as signing him to a 5 million dollar deal. It’s very early days. But it’s hard to justify trading 4 early draft picks for one player. He looks like a shell of the player he was now he’s surrounded by flakey midfielders. Could this go down as one of the worst trades in history?

BOG today ya muppet
