LincI don’t mean to be pessimistic, but do we have any recent examples of injury prone players that we’ve had come good?

Cooper should be ready if he can get a good pre-season under his belt. Looks pretty damn lean in that pic earlier as mentioned, and he sits around the 88kg mark so that would suggest it's pretty much all lean muscle tissue.
If he really is as good as some of you think he is then suddenly our youth doesn't look so bad after all. Genuinely believe he's the difference between things being pretty dire for the future or actually looking alright.
That being said, a lot of us said the same about Cockatoo for years.
I think there is a big chance that 2-3 play each week. Like Sydney this year, could completely rejuvenate the team.Nothing would please me more at Geelong to see both Maxy Holmes and Cooper Stephens performing well, atm it's all Holmsie but I hope 2022 Cooper can also stake a claim.
No way we can afford to pull Henry from the back line for the up coming season we have weakness down there he will be critical for our season along with Stewart back there.I'm not sure where this talk about Cooper looking worrying lean is coming from. May not be bulging with muscle mass but he was drafted specifically because of his hardness in the contests.
Selwood had a similar build but Cooper is a lot taller. Already self disciplined when it comes to diet and fitness regime. That is usually the hardest facet to get right for a young athlete.
Be nice to see Stephens, Holmes, Parfitt, Henry and O'Connor trialed in midfield together during preseason if they are all fit and ready to go.
Surprised that they weren't rushed into the club's kit. Not very professional looking but the club.
I think Left to right - top row Stengle, Knevit, Ollie whoever, front row Willis, Kroeger, Conway, WhyteI can tell who 3 are 3 look like brothers lol that's why i don't know who is who
The 4 mids we took in the national draft are already developed so much. Cooper Whyte a lot bigger than I thought and Knevitt is massive across the chest

And they may have started their day in casual clothes, but didn't take long for the newbies to be given training gear
A bit more from the draftees first day
