Yeah i dont think that outcome is possible unless we trade a best 22 player (even cooper stephens if he was traded like sav doesnt have the currency to get us a late r1 this year imo), which is why the fr1 will have to ger used.

Exactly
Folks from other clubs seem to have no issues when Geelong is seemingly the one being screwed over, but come one season when we look to be positioned favorable come trade period and suddenly it's shit hitting the fan
Cooper Stephens mentioned on the AFL website - sorry if this has already been posted
THE DECISION from Jack Bowes to nominate Geelong as his preferred new home and the Cats' chase for Tanner Bruhn has seen clubs enquire about young midfielder Cooper Stephens.
Stephens was a first-round pick at the 2019 NAB AFL Draft for the Cats but has played only seven games with the club, all this year.
The premiership team's midfield will remain strong into 2023 and is set to be bolstered by the addition of Bowes, who has been identified as an inside midfield option, and Bruhn, who will add to the Cats' midfield/forward mix.
Stephens is contracted for next year at the Cats, but has caught the attention of clubs as a potential midfield option given the 21-year-old's upside and size – he is 188cm and 86kg so would be used as an inside option.
The local Geelong Falcons product had an injury-hit start to his career after breaking his leg in his draft season. – Callum Twomey

Might be one way of getting that future 2nd. See how the club rates him. On exposed form I'm not convinced.

Not surprising. Doubt he leaves this year but next year he needs to break in.

Trade him whilst he still possibly has some value
Btw guys, Matt Rendell basically confirmed on the call with me that he was full of it, that I was 'taking him too seriously and he was just being facetious' and that me saying it was just an opening gambit and referencing the Pick 8/Pick 30+ Clark opening trade negotiations last year, made a lot of sense.
Completely backtracked when called out lol, which suggests, as we all knew, that he's completely full of it

If the club are willing to deal him I would be very worried if I was the other club chasing him.
I thought he showed something in games, real toughness and a bit of class, and he's had a bad run with injury.
That said, it always seems hard for those players, usually mids, who come in looking ready-made, say 85 kilos. They have looked a class above in their draft year in part because they're 10 or 15 kilos heavier than most of their opponents. As many have said, very hard to get the kind of progression that takes you from under 18s and school footy to the AFL.
Not sure who we should take with 7-8, assuming we do have it, but I'd always rather the lighter players because physical development is something that can often be done (unless you're Andrew Mackie, and he went alright) whereas things like nous, speed, and commitment are harder if not impossible to improve significantly. Remember Wells saying that improvement was probably the key thing he looked for ...
It's because Tasmania are coming into the comp in 2027 with a heap of concessions so clubs don't want their stars coming out of contract as that happens.
I posted yesterday about the number of average operators working in the AFL media landscape. Just my personal observation but we’re not dealing with a deep talent pool.
Matt Rendell was most recently cut from the recruiting team at Collingwood. He’s a very bitter individual. The fact that he gets wheeled out this time each year is a poor reflection of what options exist. There’s a reason he’s no longer working in recruiting - his time has been and gone - and the way he communicates and makes his points are embarrassing for an industry that thinks it’s raised the bar on professionalism in recent years.
Others have been found out as well. Silvagni is another. Gone from being a high profile recruiting and list management guru, to now only getting wheeled out to mumble his way through trade week sitting alongside Rendell.
Don’t know either of them personally and I’m not attacking them as people. But as media performers both are downright embarrassing.
Take what either of them say with a grain of salt. Apart from the fact neither can communicate their points effectively or rationally.

Would love for the club to get ahead of the game and move out Stephens before his value completely evaporates.
Just don't think he has the tricks to make it.
If there is value to be had by trading him... I'd be down.

David King on Trading Day reckons we’ll get a pick in the 30-35 range for Esava.
maybeHave PA got that to give?

They have 33 at the moment and I guess future second may be in similar range.
I’m not sure where their deals for Horne-Francis and Rioli are at.
Think Port are gonna have to get that ruling for the Future 2nd, as that's the only way we acquiesce to trading him, IMO - as Pick 30-35 this year is useless to us
When I really look at it... There seems a bunch of ways and things that can potentially happen in regards to trading in and out picks etc.
Just too many to say Henry #18 & Bruhn for an F1.
Certainly looks clean and kinda makes sense (I dont think Bruhn is worth a F1).
But just too much water to go under the bridge and picks that can be moved around to think that it'll simply play out that way.
It's in our best interest to hustle to keep one of those 1st rounders and hopefully Mac/Wells can make it happen whilst bringing in all of our targets.
Lets turn some water into wine.
