Ollie Henry has been recognised for his brilliant debut season at Geelong, winning the Best Young Player award at the Cats best and fairest night.

The young forward took no time leaving his mark on the Geelong forward line, booting 41 goals in his first year at Kardinia Park after crossing over from Collingwood after the 2022 season.

The 21-year-old hit the scoreboard on a regular basis in 2023, kicking at least one goal in 20 of his 22 games while booting multiple majors on 14 different occasions.

Displaying plenty of his potential throughout the season, Henry showed versatility flying high for marks down forward while also pushing up to play a different role on the wing at times.

Henry polled 49 votes in the Carji Greeves Medal count, an impressive return for a player with less than 50 games experience in his first season at a new club.
