Kate Surman is set to play the 50th game of her AFLW career on Saturday night, when the Cats face Melbourne in their 2024 season opener at GMHBA Stadium.
Surman will commence her sixth AFLW season this weekend, her second year at Geelong after joining the Cats via trade in 2023.
The dynamic small forwards first season in the hoops was a success, playing every game and averaging over 10 disposals, two score involvements and nearly four tackles per game.
Surman’s career started on the Gold Coast, signing with the Suns in 2020 and making her debut immediately in round one against the GWS Giants.
Over the next three seasons, Surman featured in 26 games for Gold Coast and booted nine goals, before making the first big move of her AFLW career.
Ahead of the AFLW’s season seven in 2022, Surman headed to the City of Churches when she was traded from the Suns to Port Adelaide.
The 32 year old played 10 games for Port Adelaide in season seven, before another trade saw her traded to Geelong early in 2023.
Surman took no time leaving her mark on the Cats team, picking up 17 disposals and booting two goals in their round one clash against the Western Bulldogs.
Providing a vital link between the midfield and deep forwards, Surman will once again be a crucial piece in the Geelong puzzle as they look to build another successful campaign in 2024.
The Cats will kick off their season this Saturday night in a 2023 Semi-Final rematch, when they host Melbourne at GMHBA Stadium with the opening bounce at 7.15pm.
