Recruited from Heyfield with pick 32 in the 1998 National Draft, David Wojcinski evolved from a small forward into one of the league's most damaging rebounding defenders. Renowned for his blistering speed and willingness to take the game on, he became a critical component of Geelong's transition game, using his dash to break opposition lines and launch attacks from half-back. His electrifying run was a hallmark of the Cats' dynasty, and he played a vital role in the 2007, 2009, and 2011 premiership victories, etching his name in history as one of the few Geelong players to secure three flags.

Wojcinski's journey to 202 games was a testament to his perseverance, as he frequently battled soft-tissue injuries and the pressure of holding his spot in a dominant squad. The depth of Geelong's list meant he was famously omitted from the 2008 Grand Final side, yet he responded with character to reclaim his position for the subsequent premiership campaigns. He retired in 2012 as a one-club player and life member, leaving a legacy as the dashing catalyst who provided the speed and dare behind one of the greatest eras in the club's history.
