After missing out on the Geelong senior team during last year's finals, Ollie Henry has re-established himself as a key forward for the Cats this campaign. The 24-year-old recorded a career-best 43 goals this season and has not gone goalless in his past eight matches. Henry attributed his return to form to an intense off-season focused on endurance and fitness, allowing him to impact more contests. He recently achieved his 100th AFL appearance and remains a consistent presence in the forward line heading into the upcoming semi-final against Fremantle on Friday. His brother and teammate, Jack, credited the forward's work ethic and commitment to doubling down on his necessary preparation as the primary drivers of this resurgence. The Cats head into the match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground following an elimination final victory over Carlton.
