Geelong Cats, AFL Draft, and Club Updates

The Australian Football League (AFL) has seen several significant developments in recent days. One of the notable updates comes from the Geelong Cats, who, despite a strong 2024 season, fell short of the premiership once again. This has sparked interest in how the team will approach the upcoming season, particularly in terms of leadership. There is speculation about whether Patrick Dangerfield will follow the AFL's trend of retaining experienced leaders, a topic that has been a point of discussion among fans and analysts[1].

In other news, the AFL draft has been a focal point, with several clubs revealing their new guernsey numbers for the 2025 season. Richmond and the Western Bulldogs are among the teams that have announced their new numbers, highlighting the preparations for the next season. Additionally, there has been interest in the performance of new draftees, such as Sam Lalor, who was Richmond's number one pick in the 2024 AFL Draft[1].

Curtis Taylor, a 24-year-old recently delisted by the North Melbourne Kangaroos, has expressed his determination to make a comeback to AFL football. This decision follows a cutthroat list management process that saw several players delisted across various clubs[1].

On the administrative side, the WAFL club, Perth Demons, has been found in breach of its processes by the WAFC, leading to significant repercussions for the struggling club. This breach underscores the importance of adhering to league regulations and the consequences of non-compliance[1].
