How does Geelong do it? That is a question widely asked in earnest, and in exasperation, at the moment.

Practically, how could they possibly trade in two elite midfielders, Bailey Smith (who requested a trade to the Cats after he made the worst-kept secret official last night) and Clayton Oliver, and land them in this trade period? Secondly, how does Geelong keep getting these players? How do they fit them all in the salary........
