Geelong players who barracked for the Cats?

[Cheshire Cat]

Just out of interest

I know there's

Gaz
Selwood
Bartel??
Scarlett
Blake
Hawkins
Ling

Any others?

 

[Rosella]

Pretty sure Scarlett didn't and Hunt did

 

[Tristagi]

i think scarlett was a bomber fan?

hunt was either a cat or a pie from memory

 

[tonxi]

I seem to remember when he was drafted, Jimmy said he was a Richmond supporter.

This is strange. A boy from Geelong barracking for the side we have consistently thrashed for the last 25 years.

Thought Scarlo would be a Cat given the f/s link

I've heard that Jimmy barracked for Richmond and I've also heard he barracked for West Coast. He's also spoken in interviews about watching many Cats game from the Kardinia Park terrace during the mid and late 1990s.

Scarlett was definitely Essendon - was a big article on him a few years ago, mentioned that his favourite player was... Bomber Thompson (surprise surprise). Ottens supposedly barracked for Geelong growing up.

According to the footy cards you can collect from the Herald-Sun, his sporting hero was Ablett senior.

Tom Allwright is another.

Scarlett was playing for us and Essendon were sending him membership renewals.

steve johnson was a big collingwood fan apparantely. thats about all i can contribute

does anyone know if the likes of hodge, j.brown, dangerfield, j.lewis, lucas (geelong boys) even cousins (old man past player) were cats fans?
growing up in/playing junior footy in the area i would've thought these boys would've been cheering the cats down at kp

I remember him saying that he had a poster of Matthew Lloyd on his bedroom wall the year he got drafted to Geelong. Which was ironic cause he ended up playing on Lloyd in his first two senior games.

haha that's right, and wasn't he just a zac dawsonesque player then. (circa hawthorn)

Cousins for sure was a CAT FAN and was keen to play with us pre WC, but was f/s for both teams. Bartel and Scarlett strangely did NOT follow Geelong. Nathan Bock I know followed Geelong as a kid-he told us as much. Pretty sure Brent Harvey did also.

Dean Solomon was a Cats fan. Had his old poster of Gaz Snr on my wall for years.

Still has a soft spot for the Cats and thinks we'll take the flag this year.

His first game wasn't that bad. Lloyd kicked 3 in the first quarter on Cameron Roberts and then only kicked another 3 more on Scarlett for the rest of match 2 of which were in junk time in the last quarter after we had set up a surprising lead.

Hunt was Geelong

Rooke was a Geelong fan but apparently Jim Krakouer was his hero.

Bartel was a Richmond fan, he siad in an interview although he did go to Geelong games

Nathan Ablett was a geelong and richmond fan
