For 15 years, the Geelong Cats have set the standard for Mad Monday frivolity. While the players still had a laugh this year, it would have stung to be holding their annual dress-up day in August.
Missing the AFL finals is a rare experience for Geelong’s footballers in the modern era, but they’re no stranger to Mad Monday frivolity and were never going to miss an opportunity to poke fun at the most contentious moment of the season.
Geelong Cats veterans Isaac Smith, Tom Hawkins and Cam Guthrie poke fun at the AFL’s recent goal-line fiasco.“We have a performance,” they told the journalists and photographers waiting outside the Wharf Shed on Monday morning. The two were referencing a social media storm that emerged mid-season when a quote was attributed to Whateley, comparing Miers to the soccer luminary. It was a comment that attracted widespread criticism for the broadcaster until he clarified that it was fake and he’d never made it.Darrian Traynor
