Absolute legend, came to help in hour worst hour of need and has been proceless in helping rebuild the club essentially
I hope that his move into a coaching role sees him stay at Essendon
Congratulations James Kelly on an amazing career and thanks for coming to the Bombers during some tough times.cannot thank you enough and I hope our young guys learned from you.
I had this given to me for fun by a Geelong workmate and his daughter who went to school with James. It was signed a few years before he joined the Bombers.
I absoluely love it!
Always seemed to relish beating us (more than any other opposition player) when he played for Geelong. As a Bombers supporter he was one of my least favourite players on the AFL, and that’s being nice.
Since he put on the sash and after witnessing how hard he went into contests for us last year (with the odds stacked heavily against him & our depleted team), he quickly grew to become one of my favourite players in our team.
My favourite game of his for us was Round 1 this year vs Hawks. From the first bounce he attacked the ball hard, set the tone for the team, kept his opponent quiet.
Very pleased to hear that Pops & Leanne became proud parents of another little boy last night- huge congrats & a big thank you from the Bomber fans for the impeccable timing!
I think it’s great that he knows when to pull the pin. I think he could probably go around again but it’s good to see someone knowing when to pull the pin instead of driving themselves into the ground and pushing that 1 year too long
Bar Goddard, he’s the best bloke to come into our club for a long, long time. Let’s hope we can give him and Jobe the elation of knocking off the swans and another big mcg final in front of 80+
