Geelong’s general in defence, Meghan McDonald is virtually an impassable wall for opposition teams. The two-time All-Australian, who has captained the Cats’ since 2021, was equal-fourth in the league for one-percenters (54) and equal-eighth in the league for total intercepts (74) in 2023, and averaged a career-high 3.8 spoils and 2.2 intercept marks per game. McDonald’s game is characterised by her intercepts, spoils and pressure, and she is rarely beaten in a one-on-one contest.
