Shaun Mannagh returns for his first senior start of 2025 tonight, after starting the campaign in the VFL while more established conveyances went around under the bright lights. Perhaps his appearance in the 22 and the apparent consignment of Mitch Duncan to the VFL is a sign of a change in approach by Geelong hierarchy towards its list management, which across the past few decades had not countenanced such a tawdry event as a rebuild. Mannagh is a mature-ager and thus not a 200-gamer, but he might be a transitional player for club and fantasy.
