The Cats inaugural ruck has picked up where she left off after four seasons out of the game. Erin Hoare took on the Cats’ number-one ruck duties in her return season, with her great tap-work and pressure aiding Geelong’s strong on-ball contingent. Hoare averaged 20.8 hit-outs per game in 2023 as she shared ruck duties with Kate Darby, a little down on her league-topping efforts in 2019, but she was able to win more possessions and clearances.
