Luke Kelly

Now knowing how bad our 2nd tier salary cap was and is still situated and the dramas BA would have had in promoting Luke Kelly earlier I wonder if these salary cap restraints weren't in place if Luke may have came into first grade a lot sooner this season. 

Considering that the last few weeks with Luke in the team we have strung a few wins in a row what are people's thoughts on a Luke Kelly / Kieran Foran halves combination for 2016 with Corey Norman playing fullback? 

BA seems to be a fan of Kelly and he plays to the game plans that are put in front of him. 

Is the Foran / Kelly partnership a silly idea?

  • Wow. Kelly is lucky to be playing first grade. Really poor player. Drop him now.
  • As you said Daniel silly  idea

    Norman/Foran

  • Honestly, while Norman is a great communicator from FB, there are better options and he doesnt want to play there. At the moment we are only comparing him to Hoppa and RR which isnt a great benchmark.

    I believe that even though we have had a couple of wins Kelly is not a long term option at half either. He got sucked into trying to make things happen from his own half which invariably handed back the ball and put more pressure on us. Silly short passes etc that if they came off would be great but high risk and unnecessary.

    So, having said all that. Put me down for Foran, Norman halves and Gordon FB.

    • Yeah I agree with the Foran / Norman pairing but was just maybe putting two and two together and getting five in trying to guess what BA was thinking as I do think BA does have a liking for the style of player Luke is. 

  • Had easily his worst game of the year last night. Norman and foran are a lock for next year.
  • Kelly was our worst player last night.

    Terrible Passes when we needed to settle

    Missed Tackle leading to try

    Wenty you can have him

  • Kelly can't run the ball and he certainly can't pass the ball, he was the worst player on the field last night.
    • I dunno about that, Kyle Lovett was pretty horrible for the Tiges. He and Kelly should've swapped jerseys.

  • I have no issues if Kelly was the backup half, not the best game, but he can play to game plan.

    Every club needs one..Look at storm without Cronk.

  • Which is why he convinced Foran to come across. Level headed and will play to instruction. But Foran also comes with the option extra pack already fitted + racing stripes.
