IT HAS been more than 660 days since Nina Morrison ran out in the hoops for premiership points, so she is "pumped to play".

No doubt Geelong fans across the country share in the sentiment, but as excited as she is to get back amongst the action herself, Morrison is keen to shine a light on a team list now littered with top-end draft selections.

More than a third of the Cats' active 2022 list has played five games or fewer, including seven who are yet to debut, and they have also seen significant turnover in coaching and high performance divisions.

"The group feels so fresh, so many new faces, so it's been awesome to see some of those girls come in and impact straight away," Morrison said, but she doesn't want to heap any pressure onto individual players, including the highly touted Georgie Prespakis.

"I think that the strength of the new girls coming in is that there's no real expectation on any of them to be an amazing player or do anything exceptional. It's just them as a collective, and they will just have to play a role."

As a club, the Cats have set some simple, but important goals for the 2022 season, including creating more opportunities for their forwards, and finding consistency across the season and in-game.

This is key, Morrison explained, to back up Geelong's new SHE IS FOOTBALL campaign which is focused on these players as athletes.

"What we're really here for is to showcase us as athletes and what we can do on the field. I think that the real emphasis on building the standard and the legacy within the game comes from that on-field action first, and we know that the campaign needs to be matched by on-field performance too."

Geelong's SHE IS FOOTBALL campaign "demonstrates the athleticism, power, influence, connection and impact of the Cats women's players," the club said, and the messaging has been crafted around how the playing group wanted the women's program to be captured.

"The club was really open and saw that the most important voices to be heard were those of the players," Morrison explained.

While SHE IS FOOTBALL represents the Geelong playing group currently, they also want to stress other, inclusive iterations of the campaign, including "we are" and "they are" to acknowledge the non-binary community.

"I think that having that flexibility to keep it open and inclusive for everyone is really important," Morrison said. "Obviously, there's been some players across the competition to come out as non-binary, and we want to be a club that is really supportive of that."
