Geelong Cats have selected Sienna Tallariti with Pick 18 in the 2024 Telstra AFLW Draft.

Tallariti is a talented intercept defender out of the Oakleigh Chargers and has had an impressive two seasons, including a strong record in big games.

Named an All-Australian defender this year after co-captaining Vic Metro, Tallariti also won best on ground honours in two consecutive Coates Talent League Grand Finals for the Chargers.

A key strength of Tallariti’s game is her ability to read the play and make smart decisions, along with a strong pair of hands which allows her to excel as an intercept defender.

Across 15 games for the Oakleigh Chargers in the 2024 season, Tallariti averaged 18 disposals per match, amassing 24 possessions in the Grand Final win.

Tallariti is Geelong’s second selection at the 2025 Telstra AFLW Draft, after the Cats selected Alexis Gregor with Pick 10.
