Geelong Football Club is a professional Australian rules football club based in Geelong, Victoria. The club itself was established in 1859, and has participated in the Australian Football League (AFL), the top-level men's competition, since its formation in 1897. [nb 1] Following the inaugural season of the related AFL Women's (AFLW) league in 2017, [3] Geelong was granted a licence to join the AFLW as an expansion club, and played its first match in this league during the opening round of the 2019 season. [4]

Contents

In preparation for the club's entry into the league, Geelong were provided with a range of recruitment concessions, including early access to existing clubs' players prior to the league's signing period, and additional selections in the 2018 national draft. [5] [6]

The playing list size for each AFLW club in the upcoming 2020 season will be set at 30 players, with up to three of these players listed as rookies. [7] Rookie players must not have played with any Australian rules football club within the prior three years. [7] As every club is required to make a minimum number of changes to its list at the end of each season, [8] not every player necessarily makes a senior appearance for the club before being removed from the playing list.

Since its first competitive appearance, 57 players have represented the club in an AFLW premiership match. [9]
