This sounds juicy - Chris Scott on Tim Kelly

"We didn't have a view that when we drafted him that Tim would be an onballer in our team and by the first game he was," Scott said.

"If he had any inkling as to where he might play, given Steven Motlop went to Port Adelaide, then it was probably as a high forward.

"We haven't done it that much but we're confident he's got the capacity to do that. There will be very few players who will be prioritised above him in the midfield mix."

Following on from the robbie gray discussion ... I have tim kelly pegged at F3 over gray and extremely confident he is the better pick. This article just annoys me as perhaps his ownership grows by a few %.

He has the potential to be the highest scoring fwd this season.

It’s the homesickness and that damn bye that I’m not starting with him.

Yeah take anything that Scott says with a grain of salt this is a coach that leaves Dangerpants sitting in the FWD line when they are getting there butts kicked in the midfield Kelly will be a good FWD pick but there is something saying don't pick him,

Can't see him beating Danger ;)

Biut yes, his bye is what has stopped me from ever considering him, because Danger and Heeney are locked and both have that bye already

There will be very few players who will be prioritised above him in the midfield mix."

And thats all I needed to hear. I had a nagging feeling they would push him to a flank and leave him there, but they clearly will be doing everything to try and keep him, and he has the X Factor to push past a lot of their mids.

Kelly Scooter and Duncan will be the 3 main guys through the mids, danger and jelly to split their time between forward and mids and guys like narkle parfitt Constable etc will be given extra run time through the mids. Was an article about this over a week ago.

Yes guys like Narkle, Parfitt etc will see a bit more mid time, but let's not be too gullible - The Cats will be pushing again this year, and that means their best players are still going to be doing the bulk of the work

Duncan could be an excellent MID POD, but as this is the forwards topic Kelly certainly looks good too, but just that bye is killing me. Upgrade target for me

[quinny88]

I haven't considered Kelly once but he could be a decent pick

Depends on role for Duncan, appeared to be pushed more outside and then down back later in the season. If he's back on ball 110+ is possible again but I can see Kelly pushing past him, brings something different imo

I have pondering going Kelly over Dangerfield. Frees cash to strengthen other lines.~$155K bought an additional ~26 points on the 2018 data
Kelly in the Mids vs Danger more forward orientated??

Kelly is definitely an option, but not in place of Danger. He'll probably make up that 26 points even if Kelly goes 100. Danger has lost weight to play more midfield.

As RD says the real problem is the dreaded Rd 13 bye, From experience you would want no more than 6 of your prems with this bye - and with Collingwood, Geelong, Melbourne, Sydney, West Coast and Brisbane having the bye bulk of players are coming from those sides.  One of the reasons Kelly is an upgrade target for me as I have 6 out already. Most sides will have Grundy, Danger, Gawn/Stef Martin, Heeney as locks leaving only 2 spots and that is not considering Neale, Lloyd, Oliver and Pies mids,

[Ricochet]

Too much emphasis gets put on the byes. They're Round 12 onward. We'll be fully upgraded by then.

Just trade through them like every other year.

If anything, load up on RD13 and RD14 bye players, and trade them to RD12 ones across the two weeks.

[RaisyDaisy]

I don't let the byes stop me from picking someone I really want to start - they just help for all the guys I'm 50/50 on

You can always move Danger/Heeney/Kelly to your mids that week too if need be, and go lighter with R13 mids

There's many options, and as Rico says don't let it worry you too much, but for me they do help with my 50/50 calls. Eg I like Kelly as a forward, but don't love the pick right now, so it's an easy pass for me, but for other's it's different and vice versa
