Geelong has strengthened its position in the 2020 NAB AFLW draft after agreeing to swap a number of selections with Melbourne.
The Cats will receive picks 10, 20, 27 and 39 in exchange for picks 5, 35 and a fourth round pick.
With Geelong also holding selection 21, the Cats now have four picks inside the top 27.
“We believe we have strengthened our position heading into the upcoming draft,” Geelong AFLW operations and recruiting manager Ben Waller said.
“Obviously this draft has presented a number of challenges, but we are very excited by the level of talent that was on show last year and the early part of this year.”
