Toast Vale Geof Motley

[Portmagpies36]

The Front Bar acknowledged Mots passing at the start of their last segment. Still nothing from the VFL Media guys and girls.

It’s bloody disgusting, was there ever a more successful playing career? as well as AFL hall of fame managed Nathan Buckley Craig Bradley Warren Tredrea and many others, his son played at Carlton my God they even acknowledged Kevin Neale’s passing not that long ago (I forgot he was a Victorian)

His Son Peter was a champion in his own right.
Seen him absolutely destroy G Ablett in a state game at Footy Park.
If not for his accident he would have been a up there with the best.

Back in the era when Geof played.The difference between the Sanfl + Vfl was minimal.
Was a well decorated career Port player.
Achieved it all as a player
RIP.

In the Tiser today it advised in the funeral notices that a "Celebration of Life" will be held at the club on Monday 9th Oct.

Nice touch and most appropriate!

No details as yet, but not expecting it to be of the magnitude of Russell's tribute service.

It will be streamed.

I've got Meals on Wheels deliveries, so I can't get to watch it. Hopefully the club or the SANFL puts up a link to the stream that we can all watch at a later time.

Our absolute pissweak leadership not coming out and calling out the AFL for the lack of acknowledgment of such an influential, successful and iconic figure is incredulous.

100% p***weak by us.

 

[Mr Experience]

Did you expect the A(V)FL to acknowledge the passing of one of our greats?
