[1] Keily, a Brighton junior and former Havelock player, struggled to cement a place in a strong Carlton team which made the finals in every season that he was at the club.
After missing out on the 1914 and 1915 premierships, Keily was a losing Grand Finalist in 1916.
A wingman or fullback, he received a life suspension[2] after Carlton's 1917 semi-final loss to Fitzroy for using abusive language toward a steward at the subsequent tribunal hearing.
[3] The life suspension was lifted in the second half of the 1919 season, with Keily having effectively served a 24 match ban.
