The Cats are armed with picks No.14, 17, 24 and 36 as it stands, but that could change.

Speaking to AFL.com.au's Draft Night Countdown on Wednesday, Geelong list manager Stephen Wells replied in the affirmative when asked if he would be willing to part with some of his prized selections to move up the order in a bid to land defender Fischer McAsey.

"We're looking to improve our position in the draft but we're not willing to give up the farm to do it, so to speak.

However, Wells would give those up if the deal was right.
"Yeah we would. We've talked to all the clubs that we felt we've needed to about that possible trade involving future picks, or the two picks this year," Wells said.
"Once again, it just depends on how much you have to give up, and you have to find a willing partner."
