Welcome With pick 66 Geelong Football Club select: Lennox Hofman

[MacStradbroke]

A family that looks excited for him to be Cat, love it.

This kid has a tenacity and intent you can't train, and I'm all for it. I think we might have gotten a real good one here.

Yeah I think this is my fav pick this year.

Might be the run and dash, might be just the number , but reminds me a little of Blake Hardwick playing defence. Half as good as him and he will play lots of AFL footy.

The family and Lenny are definitely excited for a change of environment , he felt the Saints program was becoming stale and repetitive. Very happy to have a fresh start at the Cattery ( mate of mine knows his Dad)

I think we have good strike rate with HB types. When do the y release the numbers. Do we have anything free in the 40’s? I like backman to have those high numbers?

41 and 43 are available.

Wouldn't mind Lenny getting 43 as Stewart's protege.

 

[Ratcat]

Good get, surprised the saints didn't match

Looks good imo at least, like this pick at 66.

Number 3 has had some fair players wear the number -

3 — Fred Wooller, Jimmy Bartel, Ken Newland, Mark Bairstow
Geelong's 1963 premiership skipper Fred Wooller wore the No. 3 with distinction, as did the likes of Ken Newland and Mark Bairstow. But Jimmy Bartel took it a step further when he sported it during his Brownlow Medal-winning season.

 

[Lana]

I couldn't think of one Geelong player in recent times that has worn number 49 and this is why -

The following players have worn the number 49 for the Geelong Football Club:

• Daniel Ward: Played from 1998–1999
• Luke Williams: Played from 1999–2000
• Jordie McKenzie: Played in 2009
• Daniel Nicholson: Played in 2011
  

Those are Melbourne players

Those are Melbourne players

Thanks for pointing that out, I'll delete now. At least I got Fred Wooller, Jimmy Bartel, Ken Newland and Mark Baistow right...... I think ????
