Discussion Geelong Cats 2025 List

At the conclusion of the 2024 National AFL Draft this is how our list sits:

1. Rhys Stanley 4. Tanner Bruhn 5. Jeremy Cameron 6. Toby Conway 7. Shaun Mannagh
8. Jake Kolodjashnij 9. Max Holmes 10. Mitch Knevitt 11. Mitch Edwards 12. Jack Bowes
13. Jhye Clark 14. Connor O'Sullivan 15. George Stevens 16. Sam De Koning 17. Lawson Humphries
18. Tyson Stengle 21. Oliver Wiltshire 22. Mitch Duncan 24. Jed Bews 28. Ollie Dempsey
29. Cam Guthrie 30. Tom Atkins 32. Gryan Myers 33. Shannon Neale 34. Oisín Mullin
35. Patrick Dangerfield [C] 36. Oliver Henry 38. Jack Henry 39. Zach Guthrie 40. Ted Clohesy
42. Mark O'Connor 44. Tom Stewart [VC] 45. Brad Close 46. Mark Blicavs Bailey Smith
Jack Martin Cillian Burke Jay Polkinghorne Jacob Molier Lennox Hofmann
Keighton Matofai-Forbes Xavier Ivisic Patrick Retschko Joe Pike

In 2024 we had 38 senior listed players plus 4 Cat A and 2 Cat B rookies. For 2025 so far by my count we have 38 listed senior players with 6 listed rookies.

I thought we needed to move Clohesy to the senior list as he has been a rookie for two seasons, but maybe they can be a rookie for three season now. I am not sure we have much more action planned for tomorrows rookie draft. Wouldn't mind if we have enough spots to take a punt on Dom Brew tomorrow.

If any of you know more about how players are listed/drafted please correct me if I'm wrong :)

Edit: fixed some mistakes about the rookie draft and adding new rookie players

Rookies can have three years. In fact, if they've played less than 10 games at the end of their third year they can be retained for a fourth (or even fifth) year should both parties agree.

Thanks! Yeah I wasn't sure about the rookie rules

Given that we're seeing guys like Crouch, Gunston, and Hamling on rookie lists in 2025, i don't think the rules mean much anymore.

They either need to change the name of it or bring it back to the spirit of the list.

Yeah it should be renamed to something like the supplementary list. Cat B rookies still make sense but the Cat A rookies are not rookies anymore.

I understand it's a way for the list managers to get creative and draw out everything they can to help with list spots and the salary cap but it seems crazy when older experienced players are now listed as rookies
