The are many things to like about this rumour.

1. Ending up with Salem, Kelly and Tyson in the same team, swallow that purple.

2. Watching a Scott brother spontaneously combust.

3. Reminding the World of where the centre of the football universe is. 

4. Best of all... probably won't happen, but will still make DB choke, the Scotts go shrill, and dominate with the list we have. 

Many things to like about this .

Can't see it happen, but i like it.

Gotta say I giggle a little bit when people describe Kelly as "exactly what we need".  Are there any teams out there that don't need a player of this ilk?

I think I would speak for some on here when i say I DGAF what other teams need.

Only us.

I guess thats why people say what they do.

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.

Did the caller dress it up in a riddle?

When the Kelly thing picked up steam a month or so ago, an article said North, Saints and an unknown team were keen. I thought at the time it could be us.

That said, I don't think it is. But he is exactly what we need

Pretty sure the other team is Carlton - rumours have said they're into Kelly big time

Herald had Kelly to Dons today.

We have more than one good player. Kelly would be the icing on a very substantial cake 

And how do you propose we keep and pay all these good players if we add Kelly at $1mil+ a season?

Done! 

I reckon we will get him. Will be this year and next year first rounds and a player. Who I am not sure. 

Our development team and scouts seem to be on the money so maybe we get a second rounder in Return and pick up a gem. 

Maybe that is why Lever is being proactive. If we get Kelly he won't get to the dees and the thought of a kennel or a seed box is not exciting. 

Wishful thinking but it would be the ultimate irony if we ended up with him considering we could have drafted him in the first place. Hopefully he wont hold a grudge if he does leave the Giants.

Apart from this SEN caller, who could be anybody, there has been no indication at all that we have any interest in him.  I'd say that more than likely means we aren't chasing him, or we have decided his asking price is too high.  

Either way I think he stays at GWS.  He can win a flag or two there and then come home.

Petracca is going to be better than this bloke next year, or possibly this year, anyway......

From watching Petraccas last 5 games I'm not convinced about this statement

Col Sylvia 2.0 - not fit enough 

Not convinced by the Kelly rumours. I think we are heavily invested in Lever and we don't have the money for both.

Kelly is a gun, but his price tag will be a bridge too far.

No chance we get kelly, we wouldn't cough up that sort of money

No doubt, which is exactly why his last several games have been putrid

we start paying big $'s to get or even try to lure kelly then we will start to see our better young player holding out for more $'s too eventually which will see them poached by other teams.  We need to have a team we can afford, and we need a team that can play together, just having individuals that can play well is not as good as having a solid team.

Totally different players...same type of build that is all.

Track has amazing awareness (peripheral vision), Col had none and that's what really held him back.

That has to be a troll. Petracca is only just getting started, and is already a better player than Sylvia ever was.

FFS fellas, can anyone handle humour on Demonland? He is unfit, that I will say.

Carlton's the only team of those rumoured (Ess, St Kilda, North) that I'd be interested in if I was Kelly.

And surveying the other options in Victoria you've got Geelong (no cash), Richmond (minimal cash if they pay Dusty), the Hawks (no draft picks and still in flux), the Dogs (likely no cash), Coll (well...) and us - still trying to make finals and probably focusing on Lever and developing our young players.

So I'd take GWS' offer if it's 2 years at 750-800 and then become a free agent after that, with a better than even money chance of a Premiership and maybe a Brownlow as well.

I'd come back to Victoria after 2019 and be surveying the options. I've got no doubt the Dees would be selling that to him - reach free agency whilst our side builds in other areas then come in as the cherry on top.

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. 

If it were to happen, it'd be a bigger coup than Buddy to Sydney. With our history, it's our job as fans to dream. Let the players and coaching team keep their feet on the ground. 

I still feel like Hawks are going to swoop on an A grader somehow, my cards are telling me it'll be Lever or Kelly and Pies will get the other
