Any Cats supporters out there in North America?

The Cats of Geelong are back - CAT ATTACK in 2007 - Check em' out America.

G'day mate,

Just one question for you are you an American?    Either way good on you, spread the Cats gospel and sing the theme song, as well as We Are The Champions (Queen) with pride and might let em' know who we are and that they too can share in the passion, spirit and glory of The Cats!

Car'n The Cattterrrrrrrrrrssss!

Well since the Grand Final I have been sort of in hiding...... but it is fun being FINALLY a PREMIERSHIP CAT FAN. Hey Bob it's good to see you're a long time Cat Fan and I appreciate your name dropping..... here are my memory efforts....

I actually remember crying as Richmond trounced Geelong in 1969..... Geelong scored 7-7-48 and lost by 118 points.

But my first game was Round 5 in 1971.....

..... Essendon 9-14-68 Geelong 14-4-88....  at Windy Hill....the rain bucketed down... the grounds in those days when it rained were MUD HEAPS.

I was 8 years old.... drenched.... and my brothers made sure I had a couple of piping HOT MEAT PIES to keep me warm. Billy Goggin, Doug Wade, Sammy Newman, Geoof Ainsworth, Gareth Andrews, John Scarlett and the list goes on and on. Before that, Mum would buy me an exercise book, and I had stats sheet (wish i still had it) of every game from the time I understood what was happening. Mum would iron the clothes and I would sit next to the radio listening to 3GL. Geelong radio station of the day.

When I was finally working I had my seasons ticket and would go off by train or drive to geelong for the games. Then finally I bit the bullet because I knew Malcolm Blight would bring something to the club, and I got 2 seats at KARDINIA PARK.... next to the players race..... Front row....it was awesome. I still now believe Malcom Blight started the change of the OLD GUARD down at Kardinia Park. He lead the way to 2007, even though he has been gone a while.

So now I am in Utah...have hosted a Grand Final every year but for 2007 as my boss sent me to Louisville, so I watched the game with a mate for Massachusetts, at a place called Molly Malones. A new bond was formed. I am now  a REDSOXED CAT FAN  as he is.... Boston Cats or Geelong Redsox....  oh well doesn't make sense so we'll stick to Geelong Cats and Boston Redsox ...the way to go. I am a big guy so a Geelong footy jumper would not fit, so my wife got me a blue and white striped Polo rugby top so I could proudly watch the Grand Final. My only bad thing was not watching the game at home with my long suffering GEELONG CAT widow wife..... when Geelong are on she has no Hubby.

I now have in my possession, the 2006 NAB Cup DVD, the initial (immediate release) 2007 Premiership DVD, the 2007 Victory Pack, and a home made DVD which includes some of the Channel 9 Footy Show from the day after the Grand Final, watching Billy Brownless after a couple of "FROFFIES" was enormous.   

My office every year has the current GEELONG TEAM on the wall, as does my spare room at home, the door of my office displays a copy of the GEELONG SUPPORTERS WELCOME sign as well at a minature of the 2007 Weg Premiership Poster, and shortly I will have my full sized Weg Poster framed.

GO CATTERS.... just announced by my wife.....Australia Day January 26.... BOYS DAY OUT..... my place GRAND FINAL REPLAY... Port Power fans welcome and I will be running a book.... the bets will be taken on a PORT VICTORY ONLY. EVERYONE WELCOME....come to Utah watch the Cats then go to the moutnains and enjoy the slopes.

Of course mate I know exactly: thats what I'm hoping for: I want to help create a world Geelong Football Club dynasty in the future, I'm moving to America in 1 or 2 years time;    you know how passionate Eddie McGuire is about Collingwood well I'm exactley the same about my home club - the second oldest football club of any footy code in the entire universe and the home club to arguably two of the greatest players of all time Gary Ablett Snr and Graham 'Polly' Farmer, plus now we havfe teh potential to create a football dynasty with a great team and very strong youth for the future- 3 or 4  consecutive Premierships or create a dynasty similar to that of Hawthorn in the 70's and 80's.

Anyway I want to help grow the game and especially Geelong loyalty in the States, I've got enormous drive and passion for these two causes, plus I love the States, so American Cat fans spread the word about the Mighty Catters, for we are the Greatest Team of all and you could be a part of it - Geelong- originally the seagulls - then the Pivotonians - and finally the Cats.

N.B. The Blue and White hoops means the dark blue waters of Corio Bay which is the city's bay, and the white seagulls roaming around the shores of the bay. - The Cat is originally a black Cat for good luck but theres more of a story to it than that.

This is my passion and one of my life long dreams: above, however I am ranting and raving a bit like a lunatic because I'm hammered (LOL) the whole town is and will be in party mode for the next few months because the monkey of bad luck is finally off our back- we've killed it with a 'steam roller', the cat has beaten, clawed it, torn it apart and had it for this mornings breakfast and the lid is completely off in GTown and the town has gone nuts and wild in celebrations everyone is united as one, because We Are Geelong!       

Cat Power! or as we like to also say it in Geelong (don't worry nothing offensive about 'Up' in this Aussie context.)  Up The Cats!(LOL)

Don't you worry Admincms I'm passionate, and I'm loyal to the AFANA's, USFOOTY, AFL and the Cats cause, I'm here to stay.
