The Past Players & Officials Association (PP&OA) has been running since 1933 and provides past players and officials of the Geelong Football Club the opportunity to stay connected with their Club and to continue the friendships built during their playing days. The Association connects past players and officials from all eras, and hosts game day social activities for past players and their guests.

The PP&OA has wonderful facilities on the ground floor of the Players Stand at GMHBA Stadium. The spacious room also houses the Russ Renfrey Bar and Gartland Heritage Centre.

Objectives of the Association:

  • To foster and maintain good fellowship and companionship for former players and officials
  • To keep alive the traditional spirit of the Cats
  • To raise money for worthy causes at the Geelong Football Club
