Matthew Lloyd says Kelly and Saints planets aligning
Each week that goes past you can see this is the player to make the Saints progression go into over drive.
We just have so many grunt mid field players this boy would just complete our balance perfectly.
Speed, class and a prolific ball gatherer alongside Jack Steven, Seb Ross, Jack Steele, Koby Steven and others.
If they try and tag it just let's Jack Steven off the leash and he would just make everyone else better around him.
It really is a no brainer for me....
Defence is looking good, I'm am buoyant with our forward line and am quietly excited we found a player in Battle...
This kid is a very likely prospect and should start playing games next year to assist Membrey, Bruce, Billings and hopefully Mc Cartin.
I know this has been discussed in some detail but reading the Lloyd article got me excited again.

2 x First Rounders (Hawks and next years)
1 x 2nd Rounder (next years)
to land
Josh Kelly
Lachie Whitfield
Would people do this?

I'd do anything we could to land those two.
I wonder how accurate the rumours are of us going after Jake Lever are. We'd have possibly the best backline in the league if we got him.

That's this years 2nd rounder - I am talking next years (as in the draft to be held in 2018)howlinwolf wrote: I think next year's second is already gone to GWS for Steele.

Re: Matthew Lloyd says Kelly and Saints planets aligning
If folk want to see Kelly, Whitfield ....( and Lever ?!?! ) at the club next season, then we are going to need to realise it is going to cost us! Personally, IF these guys are going to make the big difference, then it's a "no brainer" in my humble opinion.

Re: Matthew Lloyd says Kelly and Saints planets aligning
I want to see Saints players running around the MCG with a premiership cup in the next few years- whatever it takes to achieve that. Go for it!

Re: Matthew Lloyd says Kelly and Saints planets aligning
Which is why I think a Kelly trade could take the first two rounders.
2 x 1st
For
Kelly + GWS second rounder. (They have three 2nd round picks)

Re: Matthew Lloyd says Kelly and Saints planets aligning
Has anyone else heard Harrison Himmelberg's name also mentioned as part of a package deal?
Still waiting for closure ... if you get my drift.

Re: Matthew Lloyd says Kelly and Saints planets aligning
He is mainly a key forward but we are well served in that area with McCartin, Battle and Marshall.ctqs wrote:Has anyone else heard Harrison Himmelberg's name also mentioned as part of a package deal?
A draft pick would be better value for us.

He was pick 2 originally and we would be offering something like 6 & 8.

The Long and even Longer Battle of Himmelberg. Decisive in WW1, I believe.

Re: Matthew Lloyd says Kelly and Saints planets aligning
If the likes of Kelly and Whitfield were added to our current 22 then logically 2 of our inside mids would miss out , be traded or need to play a different role.

Re: Matthew Lloyd says Kelly and Saints planets aligning
Perspective my pretties, the ring, the ring... J.Kelly did not feature in best players in GWS prelim loss to Bulldogs or kick a goal. He polled 6 Brownlow votes last year. Joey got 7. All that glitters in the GWS team may not be gold. Whereas low draft picks are gold. Mathew Lloyd soothsayer - his prediction for the 2017 eight has four of the eight wrong. Shelby the dart throwing dog got 5 right.
