Geelong's VFL side certainly gained plenty of admirers on Saturday afternoon, as they rolled into ENGIE Stadium and comfortably took down a highly fancied GWS Giants team.

The next generation of Cats stars were on full display as Geelong triumphed by 50 points, keeping their Finals hopes alive with four games remaining in the home and away season. 

In just his second game for the club, Jacob Molier dominated inside 50 booting four goals while the midfield trio of Ted Clohesy, Mitch Knevitt and Jhye Clark all surpassed 30 disposals. 

The on-ballers were instrumental in the result, particularly in the second quarter as Geelong won the clearance battle 19-3, piling on eight goals to build a 41 point lead by half time. 

Shannon Byrnes co-hosted 'To the Final Bell' alongside Cats AFLW captain, Meg McDonald as the pair discussed the dominant win by Geelong's VFL team on the weekend. 

"I stand by those words, it was the best performance of the year," Byrnes said. 

"We had so many great performances individually, but as a team obviously they have won really well.

"To single out a few, Jacob Molier in his second game for the club kicked four goals, potentially should have been five because there was one taken off him on the goal line as well. It was just a really good performance for his second game of VFL football, there is a lot to like there.

"Ted Clohesy was just doing his thing; 31 disposals, 10 tackles he just does it every week. He is one of those guys you just know what you are going to get.

"It was great to see Jhye Clark come back from concussion with 30 touches, straight back in and it certainly didn't make him go at the contest any less."

Another exciting takeaway for Cats fans was the performance of young ruckman, Mitch Edwards who has now strung together three consecutive games after facing a delayed start to the season through injury. 

Edwards was able to push forward and boot his first goal in the Hoops, but the most impressive factor was his work around the ground as he pushed to contests and pulled down a number of contested marks. 

"The other one I wanted to mention was Mitch Edwards, who has been back for a couple of weeks," Byrnes said. 

"He took some really strong contested marks around the ground, it is really good to see him get through a game and have some really strong contest.

"I never want to pump them up too much or create too much expectation, but the signs are just there.

"He is a competitive person by nature. You will see him chase down guys half his size after giving a big contest in the air, that sort of stuff you can't teach. That is the stuff that players sometimes just have in them, that is what I love about Mitch.

"He is going to take a little bit of time, but anyone that watched the VFL game on the weekend would have seen some of the contested grabs he took."

Byrnes also provided insight into Geelong's academy, which is helping to encourage and develop some of the Cats young stars. 

"That is what the academy is really about, driven so well by Nigel Lappin and Mark Corrigan, is giving the players an understanding that this is their apprenticeship in a lot of ways," Byrnes said. 

"Some clubs do it a little bit differently and throw them straight in, but here it is really valued that they have a good two years of learning the game and their craft potentially before they get their go.

"I guess a way to accelerate that apprenticeship is to help each other out, and to not go it alone. That is what I touched on earlier with George [Stevens], bringing guys in for extra touch.

"Each week we have shoutouts in our team meetings about what you loved in your teammates game. I think they genuinely are happy for each other when they get their go, but also understanding that if they do the right things then eventually their time is going to come as well."
