When he was traded in we had no idea that Worpel AND Nash were going to have such consistent seasons. Nash in particular.
Give him time.

God, what a sook...I was a little disgusted with that trade... Geelong were supposed to be desperate for young midfielders (and facing a huge cliff) and yet they fling a first round pick in Stevens at us!!!
Geelong's elite recruiting team are far too smart to let good players go.
And in the process the Hawks solved a trade road block for both the Pies and Cats... allowing Henry to get to the Cats and Tom Mitchell to get to the Pies. We basically served lobsters to the Pies and Cats while we wore a servants outfit and chewed on gravel.
Both Geelong and Pies were being stubborn .. and we stepped in loosy goosey. The Cat's were unwilling to give up a 2nd round pick to the Pies for Henry and the Pies were unwilling to give up a 2nd round pick to Hawthorn for Mitchell... yet the Cat's couldn't wait to send us a 21 year old pick 16 in Cooper so they could get Henry... meaning they rated Cooper at best as a third rounder and more likely were just cutting their loses.
I hope Cooper proves the Cats wrong... but jeez i thought we looked dumb.
The Meek deal was not much better. Meek was a mature age recruit at Freo who was overlooked during his draft year... and then taken by Freo with pick 69. ("nice") and who in five season at Freo had played just fifteen games.... in 2024 he will be 26 years old. . People need to stop saying "ruckman take time". If you are big and slow you need to be able to mark.
I have been so disappointed with the trading that we have done under Sam Mitchel that I have intentionally paid zero attention to this years trade period.. all i know is the players we got.. I am too scared to learn what we paid for them.
The Barrell FactoryCooper Stephens... Where's he at?
Probably only option as there are quite a few ahead of him as a midfielderAt this rate he might be playing in defence…
Had an Achilles injury around the camp in Geelong. Has been doing some drill work but sat out the match simulation last week and didn’t play for Box Hill on the weekend.What’s the go with this bloke. Haven’t heard a thing about him for months
Too far down the pecking order? Did he even play at BH on the weekend?

Out with injury once again, he's got a huge hill to climb.
optimism never hurt anyoneIt's a forgone conclusion mate.
