The 2018 season is the Geelong Football Club's 119th completed season in the Australian Football League (AFL), the eighth with Chris Scott as senior coach and the seventh with Joel Selwood as club captain.

Geelong participated in both the inaugural AFLX competition and the 2018 JLT Community Series as part of its pre-season schedule, and the club's regular season began on 25 March against Melbourne at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). The club finished the regular season with a 13–9 win-loss record and placed eighth on the league's ladder, qualifying for the 2018 finals series as a result.[4] Geelong was subsequently defeated in an elimination final against Melbourne by 29 points, and therefore did not progress past the first finals week.[5]

Geelong's best and fairest award, the Carji Greeves Medal, was won by Mark Blicavs who received 234 votes to narrowly relegate Patrick Dangerfield and Tim Kelly to joint second place with 233.5 votes apiece.[1] It was Blicavs' second Carji Greeves Medal, having previously won the award for the 2015 season.[1] Tom Hawkins was the club's leading goalkicker for a seventh successive season, scoring a total of 60 goals; Hawkins also finished in third position overall for the Coleman Medal, awarded to the league's highest individual goal-scorer during the regular season.[6][7]

The club also fielded its reserves team in the Victorian Football League (VFL), as well as a women's team in the VFL Women's (VFLW) competition, for the 19th and second season respectively. The women's team finished runners-up after they were defeated in the VFLW Grand Final by Hawthorn.[8]

Overview

Chris Scott continued as the club's senior coach for an eighth season, after signing a two-year contract extension in April 2017 extending his tenure until the end of 2019.[9] Scott subsequently agreed to a new contract in August extending this period until the end of the 2022 season.[10] Joel Selwood was appointed the club's captain for a seventh successive season, with Patrick Dangerfield and Harry Taylor retaining the roles of vice-captain and deputy vice-captain respectively.[11] Additionally, Mark Blicavs, Mitch Duncan and Scott Selwood remained in the player leadership group from the prior season, with Zach Tuohy the sole promotion to the group.[11]

After spending two seasons as the club's director of coaching, Simon Lloyd was appointed to the role of Geelong's football department manager in September 2017,[13] replacing Steve Hocking who had vacated the position to become the AFL's head of football operations.[14]

Car manufacturer Ford Australia was the major sponsor of the club for the 2018 season, continuing a long-running sponsorship deal that started in 1925.[15] The club also secured GMHBA as the new naming rights sponsor for its home ground Kardinia Park, with the venue known as GMHBA Stadium from 2018.[16] Geelong signed up a club-record 63,818 members, an increase of 16.3 per cent from the prior season.[3][17]

Playing list

Changes

Gary Ablett joined Geelong in the off-season trade period from Gold Coast

Following the retirements of premiership players Tom Lonergan and Andrew Mackie at the end of the 2017 AFL season,[18] Geelong delisted Josh Cowan, Matthew Hayball and Tom Ruggles from its playing the list.[19] The club, however, committed to redrafting Hayball via the upcoming rookie draft if he was not offered a contract by another club prior.[19] Conversely, after spending the prior two seasons on the club's rookie list, James Parsons was upgraded to the senior list for 2018.[19]

Geelong were involved in three incoming and outgoing trades during the annual trade period, the first of which involved Geelong exchanging pick 53 in the upcoming national draft for Richmond's future third-round pick in the 2018 edition.[20] The club also traded Darcy Lang to Carlton in exchange for pick 58 and a swap of the clubs' fourth-round selections in 2018.[21] The final trade resulted in the club gaining Gary Ablett, pick 24 and a 2018 fourth-round pick from Gold Coast for Pick 19 and Geelong's 2018 second-round pick;[22] Ablett had previously played for Geelong from 2002 to 2010.[23] Additionally, Steven Motlop departed the club as a restricted free agent.[24]

A total of four players were drafted by Geelong in the 2017 national draft: Lachie Fogarty (pick 22),[25] Tim Kelly (24),[26] Charlie Constable (36)[27] and Gryan Miers (57).[28] In addition to redrafting Hayball (pick 30), Geelong also selected former Essendon and Western Bulldogs player Stewart Crameri (16) in the 2018 rookie draft.[29] Geelong did not participate in the corresponding pre-season draft.[29]
