Falcons squad set
- Updated: February 28, 2019
GEELONG Falcons will take a 58-player squad into the 2019 under-18 season.
Coach Luke Daffy settled the list following last week’s intraclub match.
The squad features six 19-year-olds, including Jack Grigsby (Geelong West), Charlie Sprague (Barwon Heads), Jal Makuey (Alvie), Sam Christensen (St Mary’s), Harry Stubbings and Lochlan Hocking.
Hocking is the son of Geelong great Garry.
And for the just the second time there are twins on the list, with Geelong West brothers Cam and Joel Fleeton making the cut as bottom-agers.
The Falcons will play two practice matches, against the Western Jets and GWV Rebels, before opening their season against the Bendigo Pioneers at Colac’s Central Reserve on March 24.
MEANWHILE, the name of the competition the Falcons boys and girls teams will play in is expected to be announced on Friday ahead of the girls’ opening round.
