Our post season targets for 2017 should be Kelly and Whitfield.
We have the team to lure them.
We have the dough to pay them.
We have the picks to get it done.
GET IT DONE!!!

Re: GWS Smash & Grab!
What would it take do you reckon?
Kelly alone would be high first rounder plus player. Same for Whitfield. That's minimum I reckon. Nice dream.
Looking from a 'blue sky' perspective, I'd much rather have these guys than Fyfe or Martin.
It may transpire though that we finish up with one trade and one FA. Or not. Who knows at this stage......it's all speculation.

Re: GWS Smash & Grab!
I think it would take ...
Kelly - our two first round picks
Whitfield - our two first round picks with GWS first rounder in return assuming they finish higher.
We need free agents as we have the cash and they don't cost picks.
The FA don't need to be stars just fill specific needs as Brown has done this year.

Nope. Was the usual straight bat from GWS.........."we're confident he'll sign soon". Means nothing.magnifisaint wrote:I think Whitfield has re-signed with GWSThe Linton Street Flash wrote:Our post season targets for 2017 should be Kelly and Whitfield.

"We have spoken to his manager (about that speculation) and had positive talks. So he will be a Giants player for a whole lot longer.
“He will be fine, we are pretty confident with him.”

Re: GWS Smash & Grab!
I believe we are a massive chance with Whitfield as the former TPS & Mount Martha boys family are rumoured 
to be very unhappy about how his situation was treated by the Giants last year.
I doubt we could get Kelly, no inside knowledge at all but given his family links to the Kangaroos and the money they are reportedly offering it stands to reason North would be in the box seat to secure his services if he chose to leave for money. If he wanted a little less cash and a better placed club for success we might be a chance.

Re: GWS Smash & Grab!
Get out the chequebook - GWS says no more $$$ for Kelly.
Surely we're a more appealing option than North, notwithstanding some family connection ...
