Geelong took three selections in Wednesday’s AFLW draft at Marvel Stadium.
The Cats selected former player and current Geelong VFLW deputy vice-captain Mia Skinner at pick 33, following her impressive season up forward.
Geelong’s Head of Women’s Football Brett Johnson said the club was thrilled to get Skinner back onto the AFLW list.
“To get Mia back to the club is fantastic, he said.
“We’ve always rated Mia as a forward. With her injuries in the first couple of years at the Cats we had to let her go but her form in the VFLW has been fantastic, so it’s great that she gets another opportunity.”
The Cats used pick 42 to select Brooke Plummer from the Northern Knights.
“Brooke is a really exciting, running defender who can play high up the ground and her greatest asset is her penetrating kick,” Johnson said.
“She’s a really accurate kick too, so we think she can really help with our attack as well.”
Abbey McDonald was chosen at pick 55.
“Abbey is a real competitor, and we love the way she plays, Johnson said.
“She defends first and is able to work off her opponent and contribute to our attack.”
Essendon selected two Geelong Falcons players for their inaugural season – Ashleigh Van Loon and Mia Van Dyke.
