has retired it feels like it's time to reflect on his great career.
Four premierships including three at Hawthorn and one at Geelong, along with a Norm Smith at Geelong.
I feel recency bias may have people remember him more as a Cat but do you remember him more as a Hawk or Cat, or both equally?

 

[HairyO]

**** me are we going to get shit posts like this for the next month cos Geelong arent playing finals?

If so maybe we do need a Wildcard system.

 

[GROTTO]

Crows.

Only cats supporters would remember him more as a cat.

10 years and 3 flags with Hawthorn.

 

[Billy_01]

If he didn’t win a norm smith I wouldn’t even remember he played for the cats

 

[Xtreme]

Hawk clearly

Kicked the greatest ever goal in a grand final as a Hawk as well

 

[BF Tiger]

He’s a Hawk who played his twilight years at the Cats.

 

[PenfoldsFan]

Hawk!

It's the same poster who makes the same bumps on 50 old Geelong threads.

Why is this a way to reflect on his career? These threads are just annoying. Peoples' memories aren't binary.

played for Hawthorn?

 

[CharacterFirst]

I think he personally feels better as a Cat.

Sorry mate, we arent all booking our september holidays by mid april like you have become accustomed to.

12 flags in my lifetime. Im doing ok. Thanks for the concern though.

Given how crap hawthorn has been for a while now and all those years mopping up priority draft picks.. You can sit down and educate us on how to best prepare for september when your club is a basket case. You have plenty of experience with it over those years.

Please educate us all with your wisdom

'Norm' Smith, Geelong legend.

Yes a "basket case" LOL. That term gets thrown around willy Nilly these days. If you didn't win the flag last year how not to prepare for September has your clubs name on it. The home and away champions. We are down now but I rekon your in the rear vision mirror as early as next year. And yes I'll wait for the " Oh but we beat you by 80 points Easter Monday" like it has some relevance anymore.

The first game he helped Geelong in.

 

[PerthBoy86]

I guess as likely as someone remembering Sam Mitchell as an Eagle.

 

[Lingsface]

I’m a Geelong supporter and definitely a hawk but so thankful he came to us.

You answered the question in your own post.

3 Hawks flags to 1 Cats.

They 3peated in the last decade?

 

[Tiger2709]

Right now I remember him for dragging Geelong across the line last year, probably the difference in a closely fought Grand Final but in the long run he is definitely a Hawk 10 years 3 flags, Geelong 2023 was just a bonus for him.
