Hi everyone, It was great to see that the majority of games were close this round. The Big Freeze Day once more raised a lot of money to help find a cure for Motor Neurone Disease. On the Field Geelong lost a second straight game by less than a kick when they fell 75-74 to […]

Neale’s advocacy work for Motor Neuron Disease and his personal battle with it since his diagnosis in 2013 was nothing short of remarkable. RIP. Brad Scott became the second coaching […]

Two years ago, I left my old career behind and transitioned into a new role more closely aligned with my interests in sailing and, in particular, boat restoration.
