Kelly's been our best mid this season, when on the park. He's held up his end of the bargain so far.
Not his fault the club misjudged the list when they traded for him.
There's been far worse trades.
Not really. Enough people have attempted to liken this to the Des Headland trade, where it's nothing of the sort.Isn’t the club misjudging the list the whole premise of this thread though ?.
Like Crows with Gibbs, this club should have done the trade a year earlier and just makes it so much worse to piss fart around and still end up doing a deal next year.
I think we essentially turned our Gibbs deal into Tom De Koning, Lochie O'Brien and Matt Kennedy with some shrewd trades after it and draft picks left. You lose the player you need in that period but gain in long term. Other club left with a player they wanted for premiership tilt on list but the window closes so quick they missed the moment in time, they should have done the deal.

Not with pitiful effort your club put in as offersGeneral acceptance that Geelong were never going to trade him in 19
Not with pitiful effort you club put in as offers
Cannot remember.What did they offer?
Geelong should have a run at nn - could be the missing piece and i think most eags fans would love to see him win a flagHe’s probably leading the best and fairest this year, can’t do much more than that. I was annoyed when he left but too get Cameron in that time I feel like the cats have done great out of it.

Still young enough for a potential finals push in a few years also.
I'm not aware of those picks we traded for him amounting to anything yet either.
We all know the des Headland equivalent at West coast Eagles was Sharrod Wellingham.Not really. Enough people have attempted to liken this to the Des Headland trade, where it's nothing of the sort.

Again..... Look at your squad.You guys were saying this in 2017 you know.

Wellingham only cost pick 17 and ended up playing good footy at least.We all know the des Headland equivalent at West coast Eagles was Sharrod Wellingham.
Sharrod Wellingham looked good at Collingwood. He had guys like Pendlebury, Sidebottom, Swan and beams etc.
Sharrod Wellingham at West coast had guys like Gaff, Priddis and Yeo and Sheed to work with
Just like Des Headland at Freo LoLWellingham only cost pick 17 and ended up playing good footy at least.
What's irrelevant about my posts on this thread?I ignore Freomaniac. Weird unit with his irrelevant posting.
Freo gave up 3 & 19...Just like Des Headland at Freo LoL
Which was way overs.Freo gave up 3 & 19...
We havnt made 5 yet mate. Might wanna put a lid on it till it actually happens.Again..... Look at your squad.
Hurn is 33 or 34 years old. Kennedy is 34 years old.
Nick Nat is the same age as Michael Walters at 31 years old.
McGovern, gaff and darling are from the 2010 draft. All 3 have had 12 years at the club all 3 are around 30 years old.
Crows have historically never been down for long either and recently never spent 5 years in a row not making finals..... Until now.
After that 2017 grand final loss, they have not made finals. They haven't made finals from 2018-21. Don't look like making finals in 2022. That's 5 years mate.
I got mocked about Freo tolerating 5 seasons of not making finals by Eagles fans.
Oh I believe you.We have not made 5 yet mate. Might wanna put a lid on it till it actually happens.
Which i have large doubts that it will.
Our last complete rebuild was 2008 - we finished last 2010.
We came 4th in 2011 h and a missing out on a gf appearance by points.
We were in a gf by 2015 and won in 2018.
So in that 10 year period we played in 2 gfs and won 1.
A reminder you gave us a first rounder for Yarran...A reminder North Melbourne gave Port a first rounder for Polec.

I'm not. I'm saying people are likening the trade to the Headland one, when the picks we gave were at the back of the first round, as opposed to no.3, and Kelly's actually performed since he's been here, unlike Headland.Not sure why you are suggesting age differentiates Tim Kelly from the Hedland trade.
Des Hedland was 22 when traded to Fremantle and Kelly was 25 when traded to WCE.
The point is in similar circumstances both clubs misread the state of their list and overpaid for what they thought was the missing link.
The consequences were a longer and deeper rebuilt.
