Tim Kelly

The ball leaves Tim Kelly’s boot and travels exactly where he intended it to go. This, more than anything, defines the West Coast midfielder — a ball-user of rare precision whose vision and creative flair light up the Eagles’ attack. A former Carji Greeves Medal winner at Geelong, Kelly traded the southern coast for the western, and in Perth he has become the player around whom the Eagles construct their offensive game plan. His ability to find space in congestion and deliver the ball with surgical precision, whether by hand or foot, gives West Coast a quality that cannot be coached or replicated.
