Four Geelong Falcons named in Futures squads

Noah Williams is one of the Falcons named in the boys squad.

Four Geelong Falcons have been named across the boys and girls AFL National Futures program set to take place later this month.

Jack Pickett (Torquay), Noah Williams (St Josephs) are named in the boys squad, whilst Ava Bilyk (St Marys) and Greea McKeegan (Torquay) are part of the girls squad.

The Futures squads feature the most promising under‑17 footballers in Australia, who are eligible for next year’s AFL draft.

The boys match will be played as a curtain‑raiser to the AFL Grand Final at the MCG on September 27th, with the squad undertaking a three‑day camp kicking off the day before.

The girls match will be played at IKON Park on September 14th, prior to the AFLW match between Richmond and Geelong. The squad will come together on Friday, September 12th, also for a three‑day camp.

Pickett is a key forward and has dominated for the Falcons in his seven games, kicking 30 goals including a seven‑goal haul against the Western Jets in round 15. He also played for Victoria Country across the recent National Championship.

Williams has put together a consistent season in his nine Falcons matches, averaging 13.3 disposals and 5.7 tackles. He was key in their recent Wildcard Round win over the Bendigo Pioneers, having 15 disposals and 12 tackles.

Bilyk has played seven games for the Falcons this year, averaging 20.7 disposals, 3.6 marks and 3.3 tackles a game. She stood out in their round six matchup against Tasmania, gathering 29 touches and laying six tackles.

McKeegan has played six games for the Falcons in 2025, averaging 15 touches and kicking seven goals. She also featured for Victoria Country as a bottom‑ager in the National Championships.

The Geelong Falcons’ strong representation highlights the region’s depth of talent on the national stage.

Torquay’s Stella Huxtable and Greea McKeegan as a bottom‑age player make the Vic Country under‑18 girls squad, underscoring the growing pathway for female talent.

The matches will be broadcast live and free across both the AFL website and official app.
