A big positive to come from Geelong's 2024 season was the consistency of Jack Henry, who continues to be one of the AFL's top defenders. 

After two injury-interrupted seasons in 2022 and 2023, Henry was able to play all 25 games last year while matching up against a number of the competition's best forwards. 

Henry led the Cats in contested marks and 1% efforts in 2024, while also ranking in the AFL's top 15 players for spoils (14th) and intercept possessions (10th).

Announced late in the season, Henry has signed a five year contract extension which will see him remain with the Cats until at least the end of 2029.
