You know, it's a tale as old as time. Wellsy and Mackie throw out some burley for the media. They're into a player. They're going to get him. He's not really on the radar of other clubs, they say.
Opposition list managers shit their pants.
They lose their minds.
They bend over backwards to try and figure out the plan and thwart the Master and his Apprentice on draft night or at the trade table.
But all is not what it seems.
As Sun Tzu states "make uproar in the east, but attack in the west." or as Sun Wellsy says "Make moves to suggest you want Jacob Hopper. Let your enemy take him on a 7 year, 7 million dollar deal" and "Pretend to be after Nathaniel Caddy, but take Connor O'Sullivan" and "West Coast can't ask for picks you don't have".
And so it is Geelong are in the box seat for Back-2-Back Rising Stars with Connor O'Sullivan leading the votes according to the esteemed broadcaster Sports Entertainment Network.
The boy from Albury is set to make your forward line look like reserves grade in the Ovens and Murray League for the next 15 years. But don't me a negative nelly about it - post your goo below
