No stranger to the blue and white Hoops, Joe Pike played six games for the Cats VFL team in 2024 while also playing impressing for the Geelong Falcons throughout the year.  

Pike is a towering player standing at 203cm, and has the ability to play both in the ruck and as a forward due to his natural marking ability and craft.  

In his six VFL appearances, Pike averaged 10 disposals and 20 hit-outs per game while also kicking three goals across that span.  

In 12 games for the Falcons this year, Pike averaged 16 disposals and 28 hit-outs per game to catch the eye of recruiters.  

With a clean pair of hands and a real strength in one-on-one contests, Pike has plenty of potential and upside as he begins his AFL journey with Geelong.
