Carlton/GCS must pick 'mature age' players (no picks involved).  The player is then tradeable for a pick.

What a weird set up that is

It works the same way as the 17 yo pre-list GWS had.  It is how we got Hogan.

Just a shame we weren't handed bonus picks to trade at the time so we could land him for free.

I keep hearing those 2 pre draft state league pick aren't tradeable? Wasn't Grigg on the Crows list previously?

They are tradeable and certainly by picking players and then trading them. Yes Grigg was on Crows list.

it is absurd that they are 'tradeable'

That was the back door way to avoid PP's, which are probably now dead in the water.

I think the AFL is concerned that PP's affect all the other clubs and especially some that can't afford to be disadvantaged by having their picks become less valuable.

If he goes anywhere it will be to north so what the hell is anyone here is talking about him anyway. Hope he stays will be a huge dagger in the north's heart.

No way we could offer his asking price.

I hear he said NO....that's pretty quick. He wants to come to a secular set up..... 

Josh Kelly will only consider signing a long term deal at one of three Clubs.  His management has been told to only engage with GWS, Kangaroos & Carlton.

Whilst my info was pre Christmas, it came from another player looked after by his management team and I believe it’s on the money. 

It's over.

That is interesting.   Is he holding off,   just in-case the Giants don't look like being premiers,  anytime soon.?

... or the opposite ?   So he could return after... for his superannuation funds ?

 

Feb'  2022...   he will have Just  turned,  27Yrs old.

Had our chance to date the prom queen but fluffed our pick up line. Not Roosy's finest moment however Salem is a consolation. Will be a good 200-game player for us. Move on.

Lol North.

Judging by what we have done with our super-draft pick, I am sure we would have found a way to waste them on nth-order things like 'leadership'.

10 years is a Buddy long time, if you get my drift.

Meh... was never going to come here so not at all concerned that he’s signed on.  

If anything, it’s good news as it makes it harder for them to hang onto their two other good free agents Coniglio and Tomlinson.
