Board tenure among Cats constitution changes
The capping of tenure on the Geelong board and changes to which level of member can vote on club matters are among five amendments to the Cats constitution passed at last (Wednesday) night’s AGM.

CARTER FAMILY FUNDS VFA PREMIERSHIP CUPS
Former Geelong president Colin Carter has been what CEO Steve Hocking has described as “relentless” in his pursuit of having the club’s seven VFA premierships recognised by the AFL.
And he has put his money where his mouth is, with the Carter family funding the production of premiership cups for those pre-1897 successes, which came in a nine-season stretch between 1878-86.
“What I can share with the members tonight is that the Carter family have donated… they’ve actually had cups produced,” Hocking said.
“I think that is the right step as a football club; they will take up a prime position in the stadium.
“You can get push back, push back, push back. Or you can do something about it, which is what we’ve done.”

This is a win of the highest order for true historians and scholars of the game.
'Silence - hear that?' The 17-cup BEHEMOTH stirs.

So he couldn't get the AFL to accept them and had to get them made themselves
If I make myself an Olympic gold medal I might start going around calling myself a gold medallist

I actually saw a picture of one of them that has been made and donated.
I quite like the rustic old look they are trying to introduce

The Carter family should fund themselves some psychiatrists instead, the whole family is deluded.

Nothing wrong with recognising the deeds of past players achieved in a different competition as long as its just at your own club.
Its a bit like the ones you can buy from the AFL when your team wins a flag.
Who needs to actually win when you can have the local newspaper vote for you, such exciting times.Will he be revealing the GF scores from these “lost flags”? Every time I ask what they were, nobody knows

Trying to find out if there will be a ceremony of sorts for the presentation of the seven premiership cups. Will keep you all in the loop if I found out more.
Wonder how much Col's Kids are wondering how much money did Daddy piss away from their inheritance on these basically worthless/significant cups.
It's these kind of movies that leads to potential Menandez brothers Patricide

No need, StKilda has a big cabinet that is empty and won’t be used any time soon.

Crazy Copin' Colin, you can't just make your own cups and add it to the premierships tally.

Yes I do know the scores, because there was an actual GF played
Do you know the GF scores from the Cats 7 VFA cups? No, you don’t. Nobody does
