The Cats have used their second pick in the AFL draft to select big man Phoenix Foster with pick 52.
The 197cm South Australian joins Geelong alongside Falcon skipper Jhye Clark, who joined the club on Monday night with pick 8.
A big marking forward who is capable of playing through the ruck, Foster booted 26 goals in 11 games for Norwood in the SANFL under 18 competition.
Geelong List Manager Stephen Wells said the Cats were excited to bring in a player with Foster’s upside.
“Phoenix showed great potential this season with Norwood, but his performance during the National championships for South Australia was also of a really high quality,” Wells said.
“We think his athleticism, size, and versatility, combined with his strong hands in the air makes him really valuable addition to our list, and we look forward to bringing him across to Victoria and helping him develop his game even further.”
