Thanks to Tom King & Krock for the information in the following posts
BFL Grand Final best-on-ground Zach Walter will get a chance to test his undoubted talent at a higher level after earning an invite to Geelong VFL pre-season training.
The 20-year-old racked up 33 possessions, including 15 rebound 50s, in Barwon Heads’ drought-breaking premiership win over Torquay.
37 players have been given a chance to earn a spot with the Cats, with 15 of those returning from 2019.
Among those not on the list this year but that have played with Geelong before include former St Mary’s forward Aiden Grace, who returned home to Tasmania this year, Saints big man Trent McMullan, and Leopold ball-magnet Marcus Thompson.
Delisted Hawthorn midfielder Teia Miles, former Brisbane and Essendon big man Sam Michael, who starred with GFL club St Albans and represented Vic Country in 2019, and Geelong Falcons’ graduates Charlie Sprague and Lachie Smith are also training.
After making a successful return from a severe knee injury that culminated in a GFL premiership with St Mary’s, Jesse Travaglini has been rewarded with an invite.
Leopold recruits Tom Feeley (Glenelg) and Harris Jennings (Portland) are also hoping to pull on the Hoops next year.
MEANWHILE, AFL Victoria has unveiled changes to list rules for 2020.
Geelong will be allowed to submit a final list of 24 and a six-man development list
Each team will again be able to field 23 players, with one of those to be a 19-year-old development player and one player under the age of 21.

Also,
- An additional rookie list of two players is available to all VFL teams which will include Next Generation Academy players and players who meet the AFL category B Rookie criteria.
- A father/son rule will be introduced in 2020 which allows a club to list a player whose father played 100 games or more for the club (including AFL and AFL aligned clubs). These players will be listed on a club’s development list.
