CAT ATTACK PODCAST – DECEMBER 8
Reigning best-and-fairest Max Holmes and star defender Tom Stewart are the latest Geelong players named in the Victorian squad for February’s State of Origin clash against Western Australia.
Holmes, who became the youngest two-time winner of the Carji Greeves Medal after another stellar season, and vice-captain Stewart join Coleman medallist Jeremy Cameron in the Chris Scott-coached team.
The Cats trio are among 14 players named for the Big V. No Cats are yet in the Sandgroper line-up.
Scott will have Hawthorn assistant Sam Mitchell as an assistant coach, with Garry Lyon as the chairman of selectors.
“It’s exciting to have more than half of our squad locked in, and it’s coming together as a well-balanced team that we feel represents what Victorian football is all about,” Scott said.
“Sam and I will sit down with Garry Lyon in the coming weeks to lock away what the final squad could look like, and with the depth of talent available, there are going to be some very tough calls to make, but it’s what makes the return of Origin football such an exciting prospect.”
The first true State of Origin clash in 27 years will be played at Perth’s Optus Stadium on Saturday, February 14.
