FIERCE FIGHT FOR TYSON

-

GEELONG is facing competitio­n from several clubs for Tyson Stengle.

The Cats have registered their interest in the former Richmond and Adelaide small forward as he seeks a third chance in the AFL after he and the Crows parted ways this year after three offfield indiscreti­ons.

The appointmen­t of relative and mentor Eddie Betts in a developmen­t and leadership role is in the Cats’ favour.

But other clubs are also very keen on Stengle.

Essendon is believed to be one, while Collingwoo­d was eager ahead of the mid-season draft but ultimately decided not to draft him then.

Clubs who had registered an interest ahead of the midseason draft have maintained it in Stengle, who is a delisted free agent.

But it is unsure whether a club will try and take him as a rookie or as a free agent yet.
