Yes, he needs improvement, but he is talented round the goals.
Geelong will have a pick between 15-18, but that sounds like it may be used in the Tanner Bruhn deal. Looking at the Cats list, at players 24 or under, the reality is they will not be offering De Koning, Mires, Close or Holmes. And I've lost hope that we can turn this around and lure Jack Henry instead.
All signs are pointing to Oli wanting this move.
That leaves us with a few options. Trade for unders. Let him go into the draft. Don't approve a deal and re-sign him. Or trade for something we think is fair.
What do we think about
Brandan Parfitt? 24yo, 180cm, 111 games, strong-bodied mid. In and out of Geelongs side, but does win contested possessions.

I think he is the one we should ask for in return. With the possibility of upgrading a pick down the line somewhere, or even asking for Parfitt and 46. (Doubt they'll give us 36).
Ratugolea and Narkle are no's from me.
I’d prefer future picks than Parfitt.

Sam Edmund this week, but whispers it’s been on the cards for a while now.

That's not quite accurate. It was reported that his intention is to nominate Geelong but there is no confirmation from Edmund that he has done so yet.

Sam Edmund believes Ollie will nominate the Cats.
Ollie and his manager have yet to indicate anything.

Correct. They haven’t but I think all will be revealed shortly after our finals campaign. That’s usually how it pans out. Frampton is now official, just as McStay still isn’t.
We could respect the official decision but that’s something that’s never been a priority on any club supporter based forums.

Well it is the Ollie Henry speculation thread, and rumour he’s been looking at Geelong for a few months now. One eye in that direction anyway. No wonder he can’t get a game if he’s got one eye looking in the opposite direction to the other.
He’s a 10 but wants to play for Geelong

Watching his head banded brother tonight playing for Cats makes me want to see him get thumped in the head by the Lions

Not a huge loss.
Doesn't work hard enough. Will end his career with less than 50 AFL games

Elliott is 31, Mihocek turns 30 in February, Johnson is already close to turning 25, inexperienced and still remains an unknown quantity.
Henry at 20 is just one big preseason, injury or form slump away from being an important member of our forward line.
Unless he's determined to leave and play with his brother at Geelong we need to be a bit more flexible with our contract offer because losing a player with his potential isn't worth it if we're only talking a 100K difference between what he wants and what we're offering.
