2024 Geelong Football Club season
The 2024 Geelong Football Club season is the club's 160th season playing Australian rules football, with the club competing in their 125th season in the Australian Football League (AFL). Geelong will also field a women's team in the 2024 AFL Women's season, and men's and women's reserves team in the Victorian Football League (VFL) and the VFL Women's (VFLW) respectively.
Club news
In late May it was confirmed that Geelong Football Club president Craig Drummond will step down from the board at the annual general meeting to be held in December.[1] Drummond had been president since taking over from Colin Carter in 2020, and had been a board member since 2011.[2][3] Grant McCabe was nominated to replace Drummond as president, with fellow board member and vice president Diane Taylor stepping down from the board in early June after being overlooked to replace Drummond.[4][5]

Season summary
It was the club's 14th AFL season under senior coach Chris Scott, with Patrick Dangerfield continuing as club captain.[6]
With the unveiling of the Joel Selwood Stand and the completion of stadium redevelopments,[7] the crowd of 39,352 for the Geelong's home opener against St Kilda was the largest crowd for a VFL/AFL match at GMHBA Stadium since 1981.[8]
In contrast to 2023, Geelong started the season with three straight wins, celebrating Tom Hawkins' 350th AFL match with a victory over Hawthorn at the MCG on Easter Monday. That match was interrupted by an approximately 40 minute delay before the start of the final quarter due to nearby lightning.[9][10]
The winning streak extended to seven matches, the club's best start to the season since the 2013 season.[11]
The attendance of 87,775 at the club's round 7 designated home match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground was the highest in club history.[12]
Announced in April and May, the club elevated 2011 premiership captain Cameron Ling to legend status in the Geelong Football Club Hall of Fame; also inducting two-time premiership players Harry Taylor and Travis Varcoe as members.[13] Dual premiership and current coach Chris Scott was also added to the Hall of Fame.[14]
The club's four match losing streak from rounds 8 to 11 was the first time the team had lost four straight matches during the tenure of Chris Scott.[15]
In round 12, club stalwart Tom Hawkins broke former captain Joel Selwood's 355-game record for the most number of matches played for the club.[16][17][18]
Pre-season
Geelong started the season with a match simulation game against Carlton at Ikon Park on 22 February, emerging as 17-point winners 10.13 (74) to 8.8 (56) in sweltering conditions. Cameron Guthrie suffered a quad injury in the opening minutes of the match, not returning to the field for the rest of the day.[19]
Geelong played an official practice match as part of the AFL's Community Series against Essendon at GMHBA Stadium on 1 March 2024,[20][21] scoring five goals in the last quarter to come from behind to win 11.17 (83) to 10.11 (71).[22][23]
Coaching staff
Chris Scott continued as the club's men's senior coach for a fourteenth season, having signed a two-year contract extension until the end of the 2024 season.[24]
Assistant coach Shaun Grigg departed the club following the 2023 season, having joined the Gold Coast.[25] Development coach Josh Jenkins also departed the club,[26] as well as fellow development coach Daisy Pearce who was appointed head coach of the West Coast Eagles (AFL Women's).[27] Matthew Egan also left the club after being hired by the Western Bulldogs,[28] with Nigel Lappin replacing him as the head of player development.[29]
Former Geelong player and life member James Rahilly joined the coaching staff as an assistant coach, returning to the club after three seasons with Adelaide,[30] and joining Rahilly in returning to Geelong, former Geelong captain and 2007 premiership ruckman Steven King joined the coaching staff as an assistant coach. King had been the interim head coach at the Gold Coast during the 2023 season.[31]
