Expect young trio Trent Bianco, Caleb Poulter and Finlay Macrae to battle for the final midfield spots throughout pre-season. He has subsequently been kept out of the 26-man squad for the time being. Mason Cox has previously been a regular, but played only seven games in 2021 and remains without a contract for next season. He could vie with Darcy Cameron for a spot in the team over the summer. It added Pat Lipinski, who should be an automatic starter in its midfield, while Nathan Kreuger will provide key-position depth in the forward line.
I/C: Lachie Fogarty, Lachie Plowman, Ed Curnow, Paddy DowĮmerg: Matt Kennedy, Tom De Koning, Lewis Young, Will SetterfieldĬollingwood enjoyed a quietly impressive Trade Period.

Josh Honey, Matt Owies and Corey Durdin will vie for roles as pressure forwards, while former first-round pick Sam Philp needs a big summer after battling groin injuries in 2021. Can new coach Michael Voss accommodate five talls – Marc Pittonet, Harry McKay, Charlie Curnow, Mitch McGovern and Tom De Koning – in the same side? That will be a big watch ahead of next year. The club also added key-position depth in Lewis Young, who will likely battle youngster Brodie Kemp for a place in the side over pre-season.

HF: Lincoln McCarthy, Dan McStay, Dayne Zorkoį: Charlie Cameron, Joe Daniher, Darcy Fortįoll: Oscar McInerney, Lachie Neale, Cam Rayner HB: Daniel Rich, Marcus Adams, Brandon StarcevichĬ: Mitch Robinson, Jarryd Lyons, Hugh McCluggage – Michael Whitingī: Darcy Gardiner, Harris Andrews, Noah Answerth Coach Chris Fagan loves playing three tall forwards, and with Eric Hipwood (knee) missing until mid-year, Geelong recruit Darcy Fort will battle youngster Tom Fullarton for the role as support ruck to Oscar McInerney.
There's a squeeze for spots around half-forward, with Rayner's return and the push of Zac Bailey and Deven Robertson for more midfield minutes to possibly shift skipper Dayne Zorko forward of the ball. Cam Rayner will be back from his ruptured ACL and ready to take up the midfield role he was destined for last season, while Noah Answerth is also expected to return from a groin injury and resume his role as a lockdown small defender. A relatively settled team but the Lions should start 2022 with a few new faces.
