A Turn Up For The Books

No, Gary has not decided to do a 360 and come back to Geelong. ‘Packed To The Rafters hasn’t bombed in the ratings. The Collingwood football club has not decided to stop illiterate people from becoming members.

It is something even more startling. Jeff Kennett has actually made sense!

Yes you read that correctly. The Hawthorn president has come out and said how silly Mark Thompson was about the way he left Geelong. He believes there was a lack of honesty by saying he was burnt out when he clearly was off to Essendon.

I am still in a state of shock.

It’s In My DNA, Is It In Yours?

Whilst searching for teaching jobs this morning, I thought it was about time that I check back with the Geelong Cats website. I like how they have included the video section this year. I stumbled upon a new video for the 2011 membership campaign entitled: “It’s in our DNA, is it in yours?” Picture yourself in a football science lesson.Your teacher is q familiar voice over guy who is going to do a one minute presentation on Geelong Cats supporters’ DNA. Who would have thought their blood was blue and white? Words like passion and loyalty flash up on the screen.

I applaud this angle for the 2011 membership drive. The club has not been out of the news in recent weeks with Gary Ablett, Mark “Bomber” Thompson and McCartney leaving. I think the ad is a great way to get the true Geelong supporters to sign up once again. It’s like the old saying ‘when the going gets tough, the tough get going.” The proud supporters will not be thinking of what we have lost, but the exciting future that is ahead with young guns and new coaching blood.
