I met Catman, standing outside the MCG on Grand Final Day in 2009, before the match started. I was with a group of Saints supporters. He was very nice and happy to pose for a photo with us. I thought his get-up added a bit of colour to the day. It's a bit sad that we tear down people who are different. We need more characters, not less, in this world.

Bay13 bullshit aside you're dead right mate. Absolutely nothing wrong with people indulging in their passions particularly if it brings joy to others.

Better a world of Catmans than straight-jacketed clones in corporate boxes.

In 2019 I started a thread on the Geelong board about the way he was being treated (by the Cheer Squad in particular) and I was quite detailed about it.

For some reason this thread disappeared quicker than a nude photo on a catholic Facebook page.

To cut a long story short. The average age of a typical Geelong Cheer Squad member is around 40 (no I'm not joking).
A lot of the even more older ones (who are refusing to realise that their energetic days of the Cheer Squad are over) are simply using the area as cheap seating.
As a result, all the energy and passion is going out of it and turning the area very dull and boring, a bit like a nursing home or a veggie patch.
Troy has been trying his heart out to rectify this. On occasions he has not only gone over the Cheers Squad's head but he has also gone over the Geelong Football Clubs head and gone straight to the AFL to try and rectify things.
Predictably the are a few people not happy about him doing this.
All came to a head this year when the Geelong Football Club gave a tap on the shoulder to the Cheers Squad's "committee" (average age about 50) and have taken over the running of the Cheer Squad themselves. Troy was blamed for causing the "committee" to be given the flick and he has been a target of bullying ever since.

About time the Club took it over. It's an absolute shit show - church mice would offer a better alternative in terms of volume and creativity.

Here's an example of how Troy went over the head of the Geelong Cheer Squad and Geelong Football Club and went straight to the AFL to get something fixed up.
Predictably it p*ssed off a few people, especially the Cheer Squad committee people who's only day of power is on match day, the rest of the week they have a dull morbid life.
In the case of this flag issue, a lot of the old mushrooms in the Cheer Squad complained of the big flags blocking their view for 30 seconds after a goal.
A certain committee member could no longer bring his tape measure to the game to check the flags are not too big. (yes that did happen)

The old Swans supporters of the 90's would give the Catters cheersquad a run for their money

Unfortunately the "flag gate" saga didn't end. For a few years Troy and friends enjoyed waving the big flags and giving the Cheer Squad more color. Unfortunately someone discovered that whilst the AFL changed the rules about flag size, they forgot to change the rules about (flag) pole size. This was still set at 32mm diameter. Mr Committeeman raced home to get his tape measure and quickly discovered that Troy's poles were too big. He argued that 32mm was way to thin to support a large flag without breaking, but they wouldn't budge. However Troy was able to outsmart them. Whilst wooden poles would snap under the weight, he experimented and found that, due to it's flexibility, plastic electrical tubing was able withstand the vigor of waving large flags. So Troy went to Bunnings and bought heaps of 32mm electrical tubing, it even had 32mm marked on the side. He replaced all the wooden poles with the 32mm tubes. He even invented a way of sliding the tubes inside each other in a telescope way and make them easier to carry after the game. Things went well until someone tipped off a committee person that 32mm refers to the inside space in the tube, not the outside. Mr Committeeman raced back home to get his tape measure, grabbed one of Troy's flags and delightedly told Troy that the "outside" diameter of the poles is actually 40mm and were therefore too big. It was from there that things started turning really ugly. No wonder he got sick of all the shite happening in the Cheer Squad.

Sounds like a bunch of bureaucratic gobbledygook, the people in charge are killing everything fun about the game.

To be fair, if you were an ordinary citizen in 1933, a Giant Gorilla running rampant through New York like Alex Rance at a Richmond Wag's gettogether would terrify you.

In fairness would make a more entertaining dramatization than half the crap on Foxtel.

TV is pretty shit in general. Only thing on the telly worth watching is footy, and I use Kayo for that now.

Reckon one day he said, I'm a grown man, the **** am I doing?
