Since winning the premiership in 2022, Geelong just hasn't been able to recapture that same dominance so far in 2023.
The Cats have been battling injury this year but have managed to find themselves back in a powerful position to contend for the flag once again. Chris Scott has formed a dangerous side since his time as coach, forging a path that has given his club the label of being one of the toughest teams over the last decade.
Are there some players for Geelong that could continue to uphold the strength of the Cats?
In the seventh part of our trade target series, we take a look at potential players that could make the trip to Kardinia Park this off-season.

5. Cameron Fleeton
Another Geelong junior that could be on the radar is Cameron Fleeton.
The 21-year-old medium defender could also be a great benefit to the Geelong defence. Despite only debuting in 2023, The GWS youngster could become a foundation player for the Cats, especially since he's young and could be moulded into the player Geelong wants him to become.
Fleeton did not play in 2021 and 2022 but has been involved in two games at the Giants so far in 2023. His best game came in Round 10 against St Kilda with 11 disposals, applying six pressure acts and three spoils. He's been a standout at VFL level for GWS season-long in 2023
While only a very small sample size, Geelong will have the opportunity to lure the young player back home for an opportunity to play more minutes and become an important part of shaping the club's future.
