Not to worry, he will need to be nearing 30 before he gets a senior game.

If you let me play 4 games of AFL, I honestly believe I could give you those same stats.

He was a sub or subbed out in most of those games if not all.

Best to review VFL stats over the AFL one.

'Stone played just four senior games this year but was either the substitute or substituted out of all four matches. However, he enjoyed a strong VFL campaign to average 20 disposals and 5.5 marks per game.

The 22-year-old started his VFL campaign as a forward, kicking 16 goals from his first seven matches before he flourished as an intercept defender in the second half of the season’

That’s what they said about the coach !

Do we really need another medium forward?

No.

But I assume this one could potentially ‘move into the midfield.’

Seriously though, I don’t really get what list need Stone would be addressing.

I can tell you, Geelong and several high profile members of the Austin family have been working on this for a LOT longer than 12 months. This trade request may have gone public today but it has been all but sewn up since 2022.

I reakon a stringer replacement. He’s a big lad

He has an elite tank, can play half back or half fwd.

So if he can replace Kelly/Hep or Menzie it fits a need

Just like McKay.

Half back would make some sense, at least.

As long as he can kick.

The two kicks he averaged a game this year were ■■■■■■■ pearlers.

Played 15 VFL games I believe.
Can’t have been THAT injured.

Deep and strong forward line to be behind in the pecking order so can’t really knock him too much for that. GWS forward line is stacked.

I’ve always assumed he’s called the purple headed warrior because he looks like a big ■■■■■ with the skin pulled back
