Chantel Emonson is set to return in 2026 after spending the 2025 season on the Cats’ inactive list, as she welcomed her first child.
An elite kick, Emonson is a valuable player for the Cats across half-back, with her run and drive from defence helping to send the Cats into attack.
Emonson, who joined the Cats ahead of 2022 Season 6, has been a valuable leader both on- and off-field for Geelong.
