Who is on our train-on list?

Not sure, but our two main rucks from last season have now both called time on their careers

Will be interesting to see the path we take
 
Congrats to Renee and Kate on being named as the inaugural AFLW players to become GFC life members on Saturday night.

Love this update - especially the last couple of lines which suggests we've got a pretty damn good core group of players to build around


Ins: Bella Smith (Brisbane), Chantal Mason, Bryde O'Rourke (draft), Kate Kenny (rookie), Lilly Pearce, Caitlin Thorne (replacement players)

Outs: Annabel Johnson (West Coast), Renee Garing, Erin Hoare (retired), Sam Gooden*, Ingrid Houtsma, Mia Skinner (delisted)
*Geelong had an extra player on its list in 2023 while Gooden returned from pregnancy

Inactive: Olivia Fuller (work commitments)

2024 active list: Mikayla Bowen, Melissa Bragg, Julia Crockett-Grills, Kate Darby, Chantel Emonson, Gabbi Featherston, Zali Friswell, Claudia Gunjaca, Rachel Kearns, Anna-Rose Kennedy, Kate Kenny, Chantal Mason, Abbey McDonald, Amy McDonald, Meghan McDonald, Aishling Moloney, Darcy Moloney, Nina Morrison, Bryde O'Rourke, Jackie Parry, Lilly Pearce, Brooke Plummer, Georgie Prespakis, Georgie Rankin, Chloe Scheer, Shelley Scott, Bella Smith, Kate Surman, Caitlin Thorne, Becky Webster

There'll be at least one change from the side that played in a preliminary final after the retirement of Garing, and the Cats are hoping for much more footy from Kennedy, who was injured for much of 2023. Geelong is unlikely to rush their three inclusions, and with decent internal improvement, arguably don't have to push the new Cats into the side from round one. Mason is a developing key forward, O'Rourke is an athletic but raw midfielder and Smith provides good depth to a strong centre line. Morrison, Prespakis and Webster have signed for four years, with Scheer, Parry and Bowen adding three years. Supporting ruck Fuller has opted to sit out this season to focus on developing a career in the Air Force, replaced by former Tiger Pearce.
