Exciting Geelong midfielder George Horlin-Smith has earned the round-four nomination for the AFL Rising Star award.
Geelong coach Chris Scott says he's been surprised by just how well Mark Blicavs has handled the transition from middle-distance running to ruck work.
Geelong have suffered their first loss of the AFL season by six points at the hands of Collingwood.
Geelong utility Paul Chapman is finding it harder than expected to overcome a hamstring strain and looks set to sit out his fourth straight match.
