In her second season with the Cats, O'Rourke featured in five games and continued to build on her growth and development, becoming an exciting prospect for Geelong heading into 2026.
Starting the year in the team, the versatile Cat played Geelong's opening two games and also featured against Hawthorn in Round 7, before earning a recall for the final two games of the season.
Despite wet and wild conditions in Round 11 against the Bulldogs, O'Rourke showed exactly what she is capable of, collecting 12 disposals, five intercept possessions and three tackles.
After gaining another year of valuable experience, the father-daughter selection will be looking to solidify her spot at the top level when the 2026 season commences.
