Matofai-Forbes represented Victoria Metro during the under-18s championships and impressed scouts with 11 goals from seven games with the Western Jets.
After being drafted by the Cats, Matofai-Forbes described himself as a “powerful player”.
“I would describe myself as a bit of a powerful player, a power athlete and that is where most of my strengths lie,” he said.
“Like some of the other boys I am very aerobically based, can run all day.
“I can get up in the air and can move pretty quick, that is my strength.”
Fellow Geelong player Tanner Bruhn was questioned about an alleged sexual assault at a night club in October as a witness.
