Geelong are a good chance to return as one of the busier clubs come the 2024 trade and free agency period following a quieter off-season last year.

The Cats placed a focus on the draft in 2023 and decided against bringing in any experienced talent through trades, with their calm list shift coming after a well-documented player movement space the year prior.

This year, with Geelong in limbo between contending or rebuilding, the Pivot City side looks set to be aggressive through their list management planning as they scout the open market.

Here's who the Cats could consider come the off-season...

OTHER TRADE TARGETS: ADELAIDE, BRISBANE, CARLTON, COLLINGWOOD, ESSENDON, FREMANTLE

4. Curtis Taylor

With the Cats currently between premiership contention and rebuild status, finding role players who won't hurt your draft hand but can compete in a strong side are of good value.

Taylor is just that. His potential as a wing or half-forward asset with a long kick and dash could be what the Cats are after as they look to add to their 24 or under ranks.

After an up-and-down 2022 and a pre-season hampered by injury, the Keilor product has found some good form in his return to AFL level over the past month or so.
