Geelong Update: Cooper Stephens

Cooper Stephens is tracking well over the pre-season according to Geelong assistant coach Nigel Lappin.

An early season AFL debut is well within reach. 

Lappin provided an update on the progress of Stephens recently.

“He’s had a terrific pre-season,”

AFL News on Twitter @aflratings “He’s got himself in great nick and he’ll definitely be putting his name up for selection in the early rounds which is really positive.”

“It’s nice to have younger players coming through, it’s nice to have pressure on everyone for spots.” he said. 

Stephens was selected at pick 16 in the 2019 AFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact: A solid pre-season for Cooper Stephens should place him in the frame for an early season debut in 2022.

He’ll likely see a decent amount of midfield usage which should result in a healthy scoring output.
