What I don't understand is how several late picks are useful to Geelong. They don't have a bid to match.
And we already have 4 picks inside 41 and we wont have room to use more than 4 picks at the draft so those picks are no good to us (i assume we are sending you back a future 3rd or 4th for bid points next year).
Id say theres a 3rd club involved ie the 50s picks are being on traded for ceglar or we are packaging up picks to trade for an upgrade e.g. 30 and the 2 50s picks for bulldogs 23 etc
Will be interesting to see how it works out.
Geelong will possibly on trade them in other deals.

Fremantle possibly would like a late pick or two back, as they may have some academy kids to match, ruck forward Benning and Motlop if he gets past 40.
 
Also, if we send out all three late picks, I wonder if we take 3 picks to the draft.

Such a trade still leaves us with pick 76, which could move up as high as a late 50’s pick, after other teams unusable picks are removed from the draft, and other picks are used up in bid matching.

If we take two mids/flankers with our first two picks I can see us just keeping Ballenden as a rookie.
 
Who?

The best one who doesn’t project to go in the National Draft is Sam Skinner.
Very unlikely that he's still there but Leek Aleer would probably be the only one I might take over Ballenden but even that's 50/50.

I reckon he probably goes 3rd round in the draft. The other one is Charlie Dean who potentially goes late draft.

I’ve been vocally critical of Ballenden on here, but he finally started to grow on me before the VFL was shut down.

He might finally be growing in to his body, and is starting to look like a man. I’d like to see one more season of him, to see if he’s improved his core strength and found a little aggression.

Apparently we're getting pick 41 back. I don't understand what makes it worth Geelong's while to give up 41 and Fort, even if they are getting Ceglar.
First, I read that more as a hypothetical trade than a genuine rumour.

Geelong may not have the list space to use pick 41, and it may be considered somewhat “overs” in other trades they have going, so they split it for later picks they can send to multiple clubs.

I’d be much happier with 41 as our third pick in the draft.

Looks like those picks will go to Collingwood to help get Daicos. Brisbane > Geelong > Hawthorn > Collingwood.
Yes it will help provide Collingwood with enough points to also trade their pick 27 into next years second round. Thus a full cycle for Collingwood retaining all their picks used from 2022 initially with the Suns. Very savvy trading by Wright from the Pies.
 
Am I imagining things, or did Daly accidentally mention we have pick 41 as one of our picks in that interview he did last week?

EDIT:

At 7:10.

So the deal in principal has been done for days.

Geelong is either still haggling with Hawthorn or the AFL want all remaining trades to happen on Wednesday.

The Afl must want Wednesday to be exciting. Action day!!!

I'll have my Chuck Norris action pants on for sure. Ready for anything.

Lobb earlier and now Wingard. Looks like Leon Cameron is going for one last hurrah before leaving the building.
