The 2015 Geelong Football Club season is currently the club's 116th season of senior competition in the Australian Football League (AFL). The club also fielded its reserves team in the Victorian Football League (VFL) for the 16th season.

Club personnel

Joel Selwood will captain his fourth season for the club in 2015

Joel Selwood was appointed the club's captain for a fourth successive season, with Harry Taylor retaining the role of vice-captain.[1] Additionally, Andrew Mackie and Tom Hawkins remain in the player leadership group from the prior season, with Corey Enright the sole promotion to the group.[1] Mitch Duncan, Steve Johnson, James Kelly and Mathew Stokes were not included in the group from the previous season – partly due to the club deciding to reduce the number of player leadership positions.[1]

Chris Scott continues as the club's senior coach for his fifth season, after signing a two-year contract extension in August 2014 extending his tenure until the end of 2017.[2] Following the departure of football manager Neil Balme to the vacant Collingwood football director position, his assistant Steve Hocking was promoted to football manager in November 2014.[3]

The coaching department underwent a restructure prior to the season, with Matthew Knights promoted to assistant coach after three seasons as the club's VFL coach.[4] Knights will coach the midfield group alongside existing assistant coach Nigel Lappin, and joins the assistant coaching team of Dale Amos (backline), James Rahilly (forwards) and Blake Caracella (in his new portfolio of attack and defence strategy).[4] Paul Hood assumes an expanded role, replacing Knights as VFL coach as well continuing in his position as the club's academy co-ordinator.[4] The club’s academy coaching panel, overseen by Hood, consists of existing development coach Max Rooke, as well as new additions Shane O’Bree (moving from the assistant coaching panel) and former Geelong player Matthew Scarlett (in a part-time role).[4]

Playing list

Despite no player retirements at the conclusion of the 2014 AFL season, Geelong made a number of changes to its playing list, delisting Mitch Brown, George Burbury, Joel Hamling, Taylor Hunt, Jordan Schroder, Jackson Sheringham and Jesse Stringer.[5][6] Additionally, Nick Bourke was removed from the club's rookie list.[5]

Geelong were involved in four incoming and outgoing trades during the annual trade period, the first of which resulted in Allen Christensen being traded to the Brisbane Lions in exchange for pick 21 in the upcoming National Draft.[7] The club also traded dual premiership player Travis Varcoe to Collingwood as part of a three-club trade that netted Mitch Clark from Melbourne,[8] and gained Rhys Stanley and pick 60 in the Draft in a separate deal with St Kilda in exchange for pick 21.[9] The final trade resulted in Geelong swapping draft picks 14 and 35 to Adelaide for picks 10 and 47 – attaining the club's first top-10 draft selection since the 2006 AFL draft.[10] Additionally, the club recruited former Melbourne player Sam Blease as a delisted free agent.[11]

A total of four players were drafted by Geelong in the 2014 National Draft: Nakia Cockatoo (pick 10), Cory Gregson, (48), Dean Gore (55) and Jordan Cunico (59).[12] Following the elevation of Mark Blicavs to the senior list,[5] Geelong also drafted Tom Read (pick 14) and Cameron Delaney (32) in the 2015 Rookie Draft,[13] as well as Padraig Lucey (49)—a participant in the reality television series The Recruit.[5] Geelong did not participate in the corresponding Pre-season Draft.[14]

After spending time away from the club to consider his future, Brad Hartman decided to leave the club in May 2015 due to his struggles in meeting the professional standards required of an AFL player.[15] Hartman had only played five senior games for Geelong – all during the 2014 season.[15]
