GEELONG coach Chris Scott was as nonplussed as anyone over the Stevie J jumper-ripping incident against Fremantle last Saturday.
“Interesting tactic, rip a player’s jumper so he has to go off. Aaron Sandilands did it, didn’t he? He’s a big strong man,” the former Freo assistance coach smiled.
“If you’re strong enough to go and rip a player’s jumper off, then more power to you, I reckon.”
But Scott stopped short of adopting the tactic should a “genuine great of our era”, Chris Judd, prove troublesome to the Cats on Friday night.
He’s just hoping for a ripper game.
The mayor with one of the biggest personal brands in the world this week took aim at City Hall’s wavy flag-and-water logo currently in vogue.
“Our logo needs seriously to be looked at,” Dazza declared.
“I don’t like what the City of Greater Geelong looks like with the things coming out of the ends, I’m not sure what they are.”
He cited the recent change to Enterprise Geelong, with the addition of the word opportunity, creating the acronym EGO.
No one was surprised.
The new uniforms sport a different logo as the changeover happened at Shell’s Geelong refinery to new owner Vitol.
The official handover of the company keys is believed to have included the gas lighter that keeps the landmark flame burning.
Radio’s David Mann brought back fond memories for Cats legend Doug Wade while MCing Geelong’s Presidents’ Dinner ahead of the Freo match on Saturday.
Mann was interviewing the former forward when he brought up Wade’s post-footy role with Sam Newman as hair-product salesmen.
Apparently the pair spent a good deal of time, er, servicing country hairdressers.
Mann said one of Wade’s former clients told him all about the duo’s antics.
“Do you know who it was?” Mann enquired of Wade.
“It was my wife!”
Luckily for the convivial atmosphere, Mann apparently had nothing to get into a lather about.
