Geelong has finalised their list for the 2026 AFL season, making three selections in the Rookie Draft on Friday afternoon. 

With their first two picks, Geelong re-drafted George Stevens and Keighton Matofai-Forbes, with the pair set to return to the Cats next year. 

With their final selection in the draft, the Cats recruited Nick Driscoll, a speedy midfielder-forward from Eltham and the Northern Knights.

Driscoll earned a state draft combine invite after a brilliant stretch of football through the middle of the season, resulting in him making his VFL debut with the Northern Bullants in Round 17. 

Capable of breaking lines with his elite speed, Driscoll is also able to have an impact around stoppages  with a high IQ around the contest and a clean set of hands to extract the ball. Driscoll also possesses elite endurance and can work hard into space. 

Geelong also added Next Generation Academy prospect, Jesse Mellor as a Category B Rookie on Friday afternoon, rounding out their list for the 2026 AFL season.
