The Life Of Brian (Kelly)

[The Who]

Kelly is a keeper.
He could develop into one of those special Manly centres we've been blessed with over the years.

 

[Spartan Eagle]

Early last year I was on team Kelly. He was young and new and I thought we should give him some time to settle into fg. However, defensively he was appalling and was weak as piss. His poor and inconsistent form forced TBaz to drop him.. I must say that this year he has improved dramatically. He's a lot more aggressive in defence. He still can't bend the line like Dylan Walker and our wingers. But he seems stronger. That is not to say that he doesn't have a long way to go. But the positive for me is that unlike others he is and will get better over time. Whether he makes the position his own will depend how quickly he develops and puts in consistent performances. So I'm happy for him to keep the position warm until the likes of Moses Suli or Tom Wright are ready for a first grade gig.

He makes more breaks than our wingers who are somewhat slower than he is. He uses guile to make breaks rather than stregth.

Good point @Bearfax . He is very skilful and dangerous in space. He does have lots of potential. I think it will take a couple of years before he's a complete and polished centre.

Yeah but if we wait that long he'll be wearing the red, white and blue and crowing

I get the reservation....but I think he is doing a little better than keeping it warm for 2 guys who are unproven....but they do potentially have very high ceilings talent wise.

Well I had to get one right eventually!!

Brian Kelly was on NITV’s,
Over the Black Dot, tonight.
They mainly dissected the Titans game. Kelly said sometimes he stays behind at training & does a bit of ball work with Walker. He also said the boys nicknamed him Pop, because he likes to catch a nap when he can.

Yeah I saw that. Great show.
He runs like Pauly Shaw and he's getting the idea in defence.
He's what, 22?
I personally like what I see developing in this young fella.

Agree, it is a great show, straight to the point. Big George & Owen Craigie do it easy, Tahu stumbles a bit.
I didn’t catch how old Kelly was, I wouldn’t think he’d be much more than that.

 

[Bearfax]

Kelly is still only 21. Turns 22 on 20 May.

Who breathes through their willy????

Weird...I only think with mine...

G’day Wayne

 

[Woodsie]

Weird...I only think with mine...

Then that would make sense .... Freud would likely conclude your negative obsession with Baz is probably indicative of a desire to bong him .... but then again Freud was just fukken weird ...

edit (Freudian slip) Bonk ... I meant Bonk him....

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

An hour into the game tonight

Kelly has been very good, plenty of very nice touches

Is Jimmy the Jet out there ?

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Kelly had an accomplished juniors career. He only ever played in NSW sides that smashed their QLD rivals. Has looked great in the top grade as well

You might have the wrong end of the stick there - I know plenty of people who talk out of their arses, I presume that’s also how they breathe?

 

[Holmsey]

Has to get re signed.

 

[Pittwater Legend]

Has to get re signed.

He is signed until next year so far I believe. There had been confusion over whether he was off contract at the end of this year
