GEELONG’S latest crop of draft picks have unveiled the number they will wear during the 2021 AFL season.

The six players – a mix of experienced talent and rookie selections – showed off their guernseys at GMHBA Stadium this morning.

High-profile forward Jeremy Cameron from Greater Western Sydney will wear the #5 guernsey previously occupied by the now-departed Nakia Cockatoo.

Shaun Higgins will keep wearing the #4 he played in at North Melbourne for the previous five years, and takes over the mantle at the Cats from retired Brownlow medallist Gary Ablett.

Isaac Smith wore #16 at Hawthorn, but will step into the #7 guernsey at Geelong vacated by retiring defender Harry Taylor.

Geelong’s other draftees are Paul Tsapatolis, Max Holmes and Nick Stevens, and will wear #36, #9 and #21 respectively.
