It is hard to fathom that Georgie Prespakis could reach a new level in her game, but somehow in the 2026 AFLW season, that is exactly what she has done. 

As the Cats have reeled off eight consecutive wins to ascend to second on the ladder, the star on-baller has been at the forefront with her usual work around stoppages, but also her dynamic run and carry out of congestion to help break lines and send Geelong into attack. 

With three games remaining in the home-and-away season, Prespakis ranks fifth in the competition for disposals, second for clearances, second for inside 50s and leads the AFLW for both score involvements and contested possessions. 

Her consistency has also been simply remarkable, collecting 26 disposals or more in each of the last eight weeks, while also setting a new career-high with 40 disposals against the GWS Giants last week. 

Prespakis touched on her focus areas coming into the 2026 season, and how she is continually trying to evolve her game to become the AFLW's most unstoppable force. 

"I think there are a few areas to my game that I am always looking to improve on, and just to keep adding layers to my game," Prespakis told Cats Media. 

"Obviously my inside the contest stuff, just wanting to be as strong and physical in there as possible.

"Now with the way we are playing, just the outside and being able to be involved in some run and carry, just bringing others into the game.

"I am pretty lucky with those around me, there are a few battles at training and amongst the pre-season, we are always wanting to get better and improve. I am lucky to do it alongside all the other girls that constantly challenge me too."

The Cats are in red-hot form heading into the business end of the competition, currently on an eight-game winning streak and tied at the top of the ladder alongside North Melbourne. 

A new game style has taken the AFLW by storm, playing a free-flowing and fast brand of football that has led to a dramatic increase of scoreboard output, with the Cats comfortably the highest scoring team in the league this year. 

Geelong have scored more than 80 points on five different occasions, while recording four straight wins by 34 points or more. 

The key influence for the Cats has been the addition of Mick Stinear as head coach, with Prespakis noting how he has helped to draw the best out of each player so far this year. 

"I think Mick has come in and made everyone believe in themselves," Prespakis said. 

"We play to each others strengths, and I feel like I could list off quite a few of the girls that have just improved significantly this year.

"That is a lot to do with the game style that suits the way we all play and brings out our strengths. But you have got all those girls that have come in and gotten better, and he instills a bit of belief in everyone.

"He makes it clear what role he wants and most of all, he is a good person and has set the standard of where we want to get to. That is trying to be the best team in the competition."

Geelong will now head west for their final interstate trip in the regular season, set to take on the West Coast Eagles at Sullivan Logistics Stadium on Saturday night.

With three games remaining before Finals, the Cats will be looking to solidify their spot in the top four on the ladder, before returning home for back-to-back matches at GMHBA Stadium. 

Prespakis said it is a great time of year to be a part of, as the Cats look to continue their momentum on the road this weekend.  

"There is plenty of excitement," Prespakis said. 

"I feel like this time last year, we were in a little bit of a different position.

"To be able to win eight in a row, the team feels in a really good spot. To get the chance to head over to Western Australia, it is our first interstate trip in a couple of weeks.

"Then we have some home games to finish off the year.

"We are excited to get over there as a group and hopefully, we can get the job done."
