purple mao, Kelly sees the WCE as still very much in premiership mode. That's what he wants, a premiership medal. He sees Freo are unlikely contenders for many years to come! The family issue is a means of fulfilling his desire to return to WA and to become a premiership player like Ryan and Rioli and Jetta.
How does WCE get this done? Well, by duping the Cats into taking WCE's first three picks this year (14, 22 and thirty something) and their first round pick next year (probably between 15 and 19). WCE have categorically ruled out players like Gaff in the trade but if the Cats demand Gaff as part of the trade who knows? WCE will have to sell the farm for Kelly unless the Cats are dills and show 'compassion' for Kelly's circumstances.
