Australia's best network.
One of the big highlights from Geelong's 2024 campaign was the emergence of Shaun Mannagh, who put together an impressive first season in the Hoops.
Playing the opening two rounds of the season at AFL level, the classy forward then plied his trade at VFL level throughout the first half of the year and earned an AFL recall in round 17.
From there it was no looking back for Mannagh, playing the last 10 consecutive games for the Cats and finishing the season with 15 goals, while averaging over 16 disposals and four tackles per game.
Mannagh played a starring role in the Qualifying Final win over Port Adelaide (23 disposals, 3 goals), giving Cats fans plenty to get excited about heading into 2025.
