Surely we are going hard at Kelly?  Surely?

You'd hope so but our name hasn't been linked to him at all really. That's either good (we don't have any leaks at the club) or bad (we aren't a chance to get him). 

He'd be perfect as our most pressing needs are a quality outside midfielder and a quality key defender.

i imagine our so-called 'war chest' will go towards ensuring the likes of gawn, hogan, hunt, t mac, petracca, oliver go nowhere

Do we know if any elite players will become available next year via free agency and contracts ending because it might be the case that one or two on your list will not continue on their current trajectory and command big dollars in 1 or 2 years. This means next year we'll have a more accurate assessment of how much money to offer an out of contract mid from another club.

Imo, our list flush has not ended from Roos era. We still need to upgrade our bottom 6 and give a little more time to our core group and midfield to find out who is long term, who deserves big dollars and who is trade bait.

Some caller on SEN just called and reckons he seen them meet or similar. Reckons a back ended contract after Vince and Lewis retire.....

I can't see it happen but you never know with the new look Dee's, they're secretive.

We seem to be everyone's destination club now 

Lewis still has 2 years left on his contract. I think Vince finishes at the end of this year or next. It sounds to me that what you heard was complete shizenfreud.

Could he not agree in principle to terms for season 2020? Win a flag at GWS come home to Melbourne and help us win our second in a row?

Such a good player and he has what we need. Outside speed and an ability to hit a target. Well to be honest he has what every team needs. Pure class. but i can't see us even trying to get him for next year. too much money and would create issue with the brotherhood. 

Kelly & Lever to the Dees.

3-peat here we come..... maybe 4.

I heard the caller also but is it necessary to start new topics based on callers to radio stations?

Why not, it's a discussion forum after all.

Fair enough but the rumour is Kelly might sign for two years at GWS, try and win a flag then settle in Victoria, hence our planning after Jones, Vince and Lewis finish up.

I think he said that we would back end his contract to coincide with Lewis, Jones, Vince leaving and that "we can take it to the bank". 

He believes Kelly has meet with the MFC  

Time will tell.

It's no different to the Lever thread, where Dee's and Lever both deny meeting. Enjoy it or simply don't comment mate. I'd love Kelly but can't see it happen. None of us know what the club is up to. I did not hear where they said in two years time tbh.

Thr ox was quiet happy with the news too. 

In all honesty who wouldn't be happy with that news.

Rumour season has begun.

Don't let them put you off @SFebey, some of the best times on here are when we are discussing trade rumours. Only thing that gets my cranky up is when the inevitable moronic trade suggestions come up. 3 x krap for 1 x champion

Large or small, true or complete BS, I say bring 'em on.

I only try and bring value to Demonland, sorry to anyone who the thread offends, wasn't my intention.

If you are going to post during trade season, you will need a much thicker skin that that.

Harden up mate, and post away!

 

If Norf has actually upped its offer to Martin to 10.5 over 7yrs, they must have given up on Kelly. Welcome to the Dees Josh.

Tell Kelly he is dreamin!  you're stuck in west sydney or tassie mate!

not sure it would sit well to have a bloke come in that earns twice as much as Viney and Hoges

LOL personally I couldn't give a stuff anyway, true colours always get revealed 

Love rumours. Happy to have them.

My only comment: It's 'Dees.'

It's a C-apostrophe! Haha...

...

But, seriously, change it.
