I don’t understand why our club would leave Kellaway hanging .
An explanation is needed , otherwise it comes across as disrespectful to the Kellaways

The only reason could be. There are not convinced he is good enough?

Seems pretty harsh taking all of his mates.

There is one spot left on the list I think b(and 1 catB which he isn't eligabe for).

So maybe they have him as a train on? Going for the last position

The fact we didn't even give him a rookie change is...quite poor IMO.

I'm not sure I've seen any club with a F/S option late in the draft not at least give them two years to have a crack?

LOL .. an explanation is needed? Why?
I'm sure they have had constant communication with the Kellaway family and find it highly unlikely they would have disrespected them in this process.

Doesn't he look like a better prospect?

No idea tbh. I actually thought kellaway looked like a good prospect and he couldn’t even get a rookie spot in a weak draft. He was extremely consistent, averaged 19 with a dominant SA winning the national championship and 24 with Sturt which he won the U18 premiership with.

17 other clubs had the chance to draft him and passed so one has to assume he’s not viewed as AFL standard.

Back the club in and recruitment team let's not recruit players because of romance. He may be one of 3 players to push fro that rookie spot on a train on list.
