Tall order: SDK leads the way for new breed of defender

1 week ago | geelongcats.com.au | Riley Beveridge

A DIFFERENT breed of forward requires a different breed of defender to stop them. With the likes of Riley Thilthorpe and Sam Darcy ushering in a new generation of goalkickers that are both big and strong, yet mobile and athletic, the profile of the key defender tasked with locking them down is having to change as well. Fortunately for Geelong, Sam De Koning fits the prototype to do exactly that.
'A Really Special Game:' Scott Lauds Atkins' Performance

2 weeks ago | geelongcats.com.au | Riley Beveridge

Geelong coach Chris Scott singled out Tom Atkins for praise after the match, describing the tough midfielder as the best player on the ground and showering him in plaudits following the gritty come-from-behind win. Scott was quizzed on the performances of star duo Bailey Smith (35 disposals, one goal) and Max Holmes (32 disposals, one goal), but said their influence wasn't as significant as Atkins' during the 19-point victory. "I don't normally do this," Scott told reporters afterwards.
'Trust in God': Dempsey on faith, footy and meeting a Cats legend

WHEN Ollie Dempsey heard his name called as the winner of the Telstra AFL Rising Star last year, the talented Geelong wingman walked up to the podium for the biggest honour of his career with a bright smile.

'I love it around here': Star Cat on huge contract call, why he stayed

Jul 4, 2024 | geelongcats.com.au | Callum Twomey

TYSON Stengle had changed AFL clubs twice before. He knew the challenges of starting afresh, making new relationships, finding his place. Above all, he had everything he needed at Geelong, was happy, could see himself growing into more of a leader at the Cats and knew what the club had done for him, too, since re-entering the fold at the end of 2021. Another switch, as he contemplated his future with his career-defining contract decision, wasn't something that enticed him.

If you said before the Brisbane game, that regular heroes Tom Hawkins and Jeremy Cameron didn’t hit the scoresheet, and Tom Stewart would miss the second half with injury, fair to say alarm bells would have been ringing. But the lot of the 2024 Cats isn’t to rely on its Iron Man, Thor or Captain America to win. It’s to play, work and win together as a team. It’s been the continued brilliance and grit from four “Revengers” in the side that have been what’s got the Cats to a 6-0 start.
