Traded Cooper Stephens - Traded to Hawthorn as part of Henry/Mitchell deal

[Lore]

Reportedly packaged up as part of a three-way deal also involving Ollie Henry.

edit: and Tom Mitchell

Will miss him. Good player and will do well at hawks.

Don't start thinking you owe us and try and offload Worpel in years to come. That is one former falcon that John West would reject.

I'm sure we could write into this trade that Worpel never sets foot in Geelong again

**** we know how to burn a mid teens pick.
Throw Cooper in with Smedts, Lang and Thurlow. He is not an AFL player.

Good luck to Coop hopefully he gets a fair few games to show case what he can do at the Hawks.

Where the 41 and 50 come from?

Pies traded 41 and 50

Good luck to him, it's been hard on players drafted during COVID times. Hope he does (reasonably not outrageously) well at Hawthorn.

Hes a good player
Cant blame him needs gametime and the hawks can give it to him and we cant.
Hes not a star but he will be a really solid B grader for them.

I just hope they dont take clark (who will be a star) at pick 6 and he gets to us

Think Phillipou would be better for us

Stephens and clark are very similar type players (clark is better)so i agree you might take a different type of mid.

Disappointed and genuinely surprised geelong did this. He's no guarantee to make it but he's got some talent. Makes complete sense for the Hawks to go after him.

You guys did promise Bowes a chance. This helps a bit.

I don’t see it. Hawthorn’s gain if I’m wrong

First two years of reserves was cut short via covid lockdowns.

But Chewy gonna chewy

LOL

Geelong thought Cooper Stephens had so much potential they used him as steak knives in the "Henry for pick 25" trade

You must be chuffed just to be involved in something.

Hes a good player. Wont ever be elite but will be a solid role guy. And ripping citizen too. Had a lot of time out injured but the ability is there

 

[FreddyTwoShoes]

Really sorry to see him go. Thought he played really well when he was given a good run at it (6-7 games) in the middle of the season. Really strong over the ball, good quick hands, good vision. Hope he does well at the hawks.

 

[Ricketz]

Geelong's "best midfield prospect"


Just 7 games in 3 years...

Two of those as sub - no playing time
The other five, he spent much of the game sitting on the bench

Get on him for the Brownlow in 2025

Well you have him now, I guess we rated Nevitt better.

Yeah me too. He will probably request a trade back in two years, so not to worry.

Not this one. Grew up supporting Hawthorn.

Na. He was a massive hawks supporter as a kid
