Geelong’s general in defence, Meghan McDonald is virtually an impassable wall for opposition teams. The two-time All-Australian, who has captained the Cats’ since 2021, was equal-fourth in the league for one-percenters (54) and equal-eighth in the league for total intercepts (74) in 2023, and averaged a career-high 3.8 spoils and 2.2 intercept marks per game. McDonald’s game is characterised by her intercepts, spoils and pressure, and she is rarely beaten in a one-on-one contest.

Acknowledgment to Country

Geelong Football Club acknowledges Wadawurrung as the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the Land on which our club, our families and our communities work and play. We pay our respects to Elders of the past, the present, and those that will lead their collective future. Kardinyu, in Wadawurrung language is the place of the morning sun, a place of deep cultural connection and significance, a meeting place since the beginning of time. We are honoured to walk with the Wadawurrung People, to listen, respect and talk together on our journey on Wadawurrung Country.
