The Prospect of an Elite Midfielder for 2018
I'm am starting to get a little excited of us reeling in that big fish for next year.
Just imagine our midfield with the likes of Jackie Steven, Seb Ross and Josh Kelly or Dustin Martin.
It will be just what the doctor ordered! Pretty similar to Geelong in acquiring Dangerfield, I'd reckon.

I voted for Kelly, but if Richmond stumble, Dusty will be available!!!!!Sainternist wrote:I'm am starting to get a little excited of us reeling in that big fish for next year.

Isn't Kelly much younger, therefore more of a long term prospect, rather than a quick fix?Teflon wrote:Kelly thanks Martin not upside Kelly has

We probably need both but it won't happen.

Of all the Melbourne clubs vying for a superstar mid, I'd say Kelly would be at the top of all their lists.
If rumours at to be believed, should Kelly be heading back South, we're leading the race, but North and Carlton are coming at him hard. Also wouldn't surprise me if Hawthorn have a crack also.
Whoever doesn't get Kelly, I'd expect them to then throw what they can at Dusty. I know we ruled ourselves out of the chase for Dusty, but I'm yet to believe it.

Until we have an administration that demands success and a playing group that bleeds for the guernsey, St. Kilda will just be a sh*tty football club.

Jeez,if we don't get at least one premium mid at years end then this rebuild has been a fail and has let the supporters down who have had to sit through a prolonged rebuild.
Lets not forget we offloaded the likes of Goddard,Dal Santo so we could be in a position to strike,and we haven't yet.....
We need Kelly,plus one

Re: The Prospect of an Elite Midfielder for 2018
My dream scenario has us trading our 2018 first and our Hawks pick for Kelly, and we get Rockliff as a free agent. Adds clearance power and 2 way running, and outside run and good delivery. All of a sudden, a bloke like Ross becomes our 4th best mid
No way Brisbane will match, they'd be giving up pick 2 for a bloke who doesn't want to stay. His salary demands are probably not in the realm of Martin and Fyfe too.
