I can remember the famous number 5 could not walk out the door without being mobbed by kids.
He used to come into work when he was driving a truck for Hoveys and he was a lovely bloke, always up for a chat. I remember walking down Torquay beach in the early 90s with the family and having GAS land horizontally at my feet taking a blinder of a catch playing beach cricket. "Sorry mate" with a sheepish smile was all I got. Meanwhile I was spasming!
Pity the demons got him.
Welcome to BF! Ray Card spent some time after footy owning and running the Birregurra pub west of Geelong. Tough but a pretty good bloke apparently. Grieg anyone?

Would have been suspended for many moons had he been playing today. I remember that Ray Card hit quite well. He was a tough player who ran in straight lines. Not unlike Rooke in that respect but no where near as skilled as Max.
Anyway welcome C20.
Punctuation helps! Great hit on Grieg, pity it wasn't some mongrel he hit though.

I think your caps lock is stuck on, son.
Collingwood had some significant outs also, so it's a bit poor to talk about the 6 'guns' we had missing - suck up the loss, there's still a long way to go before we're in any kind of position to challenge for the 2013 flag.

Been around here for 2 years now but never got the chance to introduce myself properly, bit rude of me really.
17 years old and live near Geelong. Been a Cats supporter for life (since I can remember at least, first memories of footy start around 1998/99-ish) and paid up member for 10 years now. The story of how I came to support Geelong isn't really anything special- lived in the Geelong area all my life and most of my family/friends are Cat fans (well, except mum who was a Carlton supporter to begin with but has since turncoated to Geelong- to think I could've supported another team!).
Dad started taking me to games at Kardinia Park as a young kid and I guess the Cats just clicked for me. Have ridden all the ups and downs since, although it's probably not a patch on some of the older supporters here who were alive to see things such as spending 2 decades in the wilderness before being perennial runners up in the 1990's, Ablett Snr at his very best, suburban grounds at their finest, etc.
