The saying hard as a cat’s head is perhaps best exemplified by Tom Lonergan, now a long time linchpin of the Geelong defence. The key tall has little concern for his own safety, serially standing under high balls not knowing what’s coming. Having played more than 18 home & away matches for each of the past seven seasons, he has made the most of his talent. With a premiership again the focus for the Cats as they attack the 2017 season, Lonergan will once more play a key role in the heart of the defence. Regularly in a one-on-one contest against the opposition key tall, rarely beaten. His historical scoring suggests he’s not an option for selection.
