Oliver Dempsey
An outstanding season for the lively young forward who won the AFL’s Rising Star award, the first Geelong player to do so since Joel Selwood in 2007. It was recognition for a year where he emerged as one of the brightest prospects in the AFL. Played all 25 games, kicked 22 goals, including three on three occasions, and finished seventh in the Cats’ best and fairest. Averaged 17.4 disposals and 4.4 marks a game and showed he likes to use his natural leap. A big part of Geelong’s future, he looks a long-term player.
Honours
AFL Rising Star (2024), 22under22 Team (2024), Best Young Player Award (2024), Tom Wills Award (2024 - Round 16).
