Would have to be my earliest geelong fc memory
That's an interesting topic. I think my first specific Geelong memory would have to be watching the pregame show on Channel 9 for our Friday night game against Collingwood in 2005 (Round 11: we lost 18.13 (121) to 14.12 (96))
My earliest football/AFL memory is from 2003, I remember my parents bought me the AFL Collector's Sticker Book, and I remember putting player stickers in the book and going to the newsagent in what was then Bay City Plaza to buy a packet of stickers. I also remember from a similar time playing footy in the backyard by myself with my Cats footy (having shots at goal etc.) and I awarded myself a free kick because the ball came off the side of my boot. And I had an AFL Memory game too, I remember playing that, that was good fun
Kennedy, Buddy, Riewoldt, Lynch... I'm struggling to pin point number five. Brown? Cameron? Hawkins?

Yep, seven against the Dees in 2018 at home. Four of them came in the last quarter alone
The two he kicked from set shots in the last quarter was the loudest crowd noise I had/have heard from Kardinia Park in a long time

My earliest Geelong memory is watching us beat them on TV by a point at the WACA in 1991.

As a South Australian I found some of the people in this (Footscray/Fitzroy podcast) to be too Viccentric. Leon Weigard can GFH for all I care.
The VFL have always been a target of mine so their actions never surprise me

Biggest crowd noise i heard at KP, ever, was the pre-Bailey sacking massacre of Melbourne at KP when we... equaled (?) our record? Or did we get within a goal i cant remember.
We sat next to Melbourne's race and when they came out before the match i honestly thought to myself they look like a bunch of kids that i could snap in half.

Got a funny story to tell ya’ll - Remember the mark Jezzalenko took and the commentator said Jezzalenko you beauty. Well my Dad was right in front of that mark with his Dad when he was a young boy and just as Jezza took off for the huge mark this guy in front of my Dad put a big radio up on his shoulder and my Dad missed the greatest mark of all time and my Dads, Dad said omg did you see that and Dad was like no bc that guy in front of me put his radio up just when it happened and he turns around and goes sorry and puts the radio down but after that it was too late he was lying on the ground already. Dad looks at it now as at the end of the day all the people that were at the toilet or getting food would of missed it too, so I wasn’t the only one. Hehe. Funny story though just had to share.

Its like whenever you go to the toilet at the cricket theres a wicket.
Then you come back for hours of "block... wait"

I was at a camp site with the slowest af internet- so i couldnt watch the game (unlike i could at the best internet cafe in Santorini and i watched v Saints live)- anyway- so I timed it so i was in front of the computer when the final scores would have been coming thru, but cause it was so s**t, it froze at us being behind you guys, everytime i tried to refresh, the scores stayed the same. But then the headline changed to "Hawkins kicks sealer blah blah blah" so i took that as gospel even tho i didnt actually see the correct scores.

I was GA, top level and sitting behind the goals to the end we were kicking in the last
I had some other Geelong people beside me (never met them before) and a few Hawks fans the row behind
During the first half when we got out to the crazy lead all of us were enjoying some banter, nothing too serious & not offensive to either team. The Hawks then made the comeback & their fans were a bit more jovial but it gets to the last few minutes, all of us were on edge and nervous
Hawkins takes his kick, we stand up to watch the ball to see if it crosses the line - Geelong fans jump for joy, the Hawks fans fell back in their seats. But once things settled it was congratulations & commiserations and all very level between rival fans

Exactly the same as me, I was up the top level on the other side of the ground in one of the Geelong bays, and I had my head in my hands with just a gap between my fingers just to see what was happening. I fully expected him to kick it, so did my old man who was sitting next to me
But then I saw all the players run towards the point post, our cheer squad behind the goals went up and then I screamed 'HE'S MISSED!!!!!!!!!' and I was jumping up and down so quickly and suddenly I got dizzy
