Re: Vale Geof Motley
RIP
What an incredible record.
It almost feels, not being a Port-insider that he wasn't as invovled with Port over the last generation, and as such his accomplishments are put in the shadow compared to the Cahills, Williams, Quinns, Eberts but they are as good an anyone.

Re: Vale Geof Motley
Brilliant speeches by Craig Bradley, Nathan Buckley and Peter Motley at the service at Alberton Oval.
Tim Ginever MC'ing the event said he normally opens with his 7 premierships, made him feel as common as dirt doing the eulogy of a man with 9 premierships.
Pall bearers Peter Motley, Max James, Warren Tredrea, Shaun Rehn, Brett Motley and missed the last name,
Guard of honor forming. The coffin has 9 Thomas Seymour Cups emblazoned on it.
RIP #17.
