Geelong is already delivering on its commitment to increase investment in its AFLW program. Having already announced the appointment of premiership-winning Melbourne coach Mick Stinear as the replacement for Dan Lowther in December, the Cats have confirmed their assistant coaches. It is also believed that bench coach David Morgan, who has been with the AFLW program since it commenced, won’t continue in his role. “Ryan’s recent success at AFLW level, Sam’s connection to Geelong and experience across multiple competitions, and Elise’s ongoing contribution to our program gives us a well-rounded coaching group. “Combine this with Mick’s leadership, and it provides a strong platform for our AFLW program as we prepare for the 2026 season.”X: @krockfootball
