Farewell #20 Will Kelly

He’s played a few games in succession now while Charlie Dean played his first game for us and Charlie Dean looks a much better proposition for us down back than Will Kelly. Kelly looked much better when we played him in the forward line in the last quarter.

Well, that can't be bad!!
Would love him to develop as a tall forward.

He looked ok in the forward line. Average down back. Agree.

Dean looks ok but we need to stop expecting another Presti to step thru the door imminently.

McMahon I thought looked lost in the second half and seemed unsure of himself and positioning, I would be amazed if he develops into a key tall at afl level.

We neee talk forwards more so let’s hope he can make it without breaking himself …

The club has just given Will Kelly a year's extension. GW sounds very upbeat about Will's prospects for 2023.

Hopefully he can have an injury free preseason, build himself up a bit and have an injury free 2023 so we can see the best of Will Kelly. Good luck to you Will Kelly.

Give it everything you've got, son, and don't die wondering.

Persistence has paid off for many over the years. Remember, Moorey and Jamie have overcome pretty tough injury runs to play outstanding footy.

Fingers crossed for the lad.

If you enjoyed Madge in our AFL back line then you're gonna love Will.
Can play both great football and then make a bunch of fundamental skills errors all within the same 15 minutes.
Looks a physical specimen but can get absolutely rag-dolled by slightly bigger opponents.

I hope things click for him in 2023 but, if Murphy stays injury free and Dean actually makes it onto the park and shows some form, then I'm not sure what role Kelly has moving forward.
