Geelong is cautiously optimistic it could have paved the way for deals that will secure Ollie Henry and Jack Bowes after a frantic day of movement that saw him seal a trade for GWS midfielder Tanner Bruhn.

On a day where the Cats officially dealt pick 18 to the Giants for Bruhn they also completed a pick swap that at least gives them a chance of securing Collingwood first-round pick Ollie Henry.

They traded picks 38, 48 and 55 as well as future second and fourth-rounders for Brisbane’s pick 25.

That No.25 selection could be on-traded to the Pies for Henry, who as a No.17 selection two years ago would deserve to be traded for a pick of that worth.

Collingwood has made clear that it wants a first-round selection for Henry, who has shown flashes of brilliance but wants to play alongside his brother Jack at the Cats.

But Geelong has struggled to secure a top-20 pick and believes that 25 is a fair trade for Henry.

The Cats accepted pick 22 for contracted No.15 draft selection Jordan Clark last year, with a swap of third and fourth-round picks.

They believe pick 25 for an uncontracted player is equitable, but are yet to receive assurances from Collingwood on that front.

Geelong and the Suns spoke to the AFL on Friday about structuring Bowes’ contract over four seasons, as revealed by the Herald Sun on Sunday.

The Suns had been keen to secure Geelong’s future second-round pick — now gone in that pick swap — but they may have to be content with a pick like Geelong’s future third-round selection.

Funniest thing on the Pies board is the presence of supporters of certain un-named other clubs, all saying to them "DON'T GIVE IN!! DON'T LET THE CATS WIN!!! WE CAN'T LET THEM GET ANOTHER VICTORY!!!"
Do you know what the funniest thing would be?

Ned Guy saying we could complete the Bowes trade for an Fr3

Would explain why we traded out the Fr2 and Fr4

Can only be supporters of two clubs
 
Would be very nice if we only need to hand over our F3 in the Bowes trade.
Would only have our F1 and then pickw 995, 996 + 997... but who cares.

Surely the Pies have ticked off on #25 for Henry... Surely the pick swap we just made was not done just buy chance.

I think Berry will go to the GC and we just paid the cost. So the Bowes trade has nothing going back?

Just guessing.

NG: 'You'll have to trade your future 2nd.'
AM: 'Steve Hocking wanted us to show you these photos.'
NG: 'A future 3rd will be fine.'

Lol imagine bowes and pick 7 for 3rd rounder (in the 45-55 range).

Would be the most one sided trade in history
 
My only concern is how do we get Jhye Clark?
If we do really want him you'd think we do have a plan and won't just leave it to chance that he slides to #8 (which is unlikely).

If we haven't somehow got a deal to get #5 off GC instead of #7 (which will end up #8) I'm not sure what the plan is.

As per usual... Time will tell.

Thre might be something else happening with that GC deal that we don't know yet.

Like the Tom Berry trade which was completed yesterday

With the contempt that teams a value picks from the 3rd round onwards starts to be the question on how few players are going to be drafted this year

Not many id say not more than 50-55 or so you can see clubs want next year instead.
