Despite the noise on Geelong defender Tom Stewart moving into the midfield the visual at training recently is the complete opposite.

With just a few weeks prior to the 2024 season Geelong senior coach Chris Scott may yet make the move, but for now the role for Stewart is currently as a defender.

Geelong will play a practice match against Carlton on February 22nd at Ikon Park, the Cats will play Essendon in the Community Series at GMHBA Stadium on March 1st.

Stewart averaged 23.0 disposals, 8.3 marks and 2.0 tackles from 22 games in 2023.
