Geelong and football fans alike will have an opportunity to farewell Polly Farmer at a GMHBA Stadium public memorial service this Friday 30th August.

The service will begin at 2pm in the Social Club, level 2 of the Charles Brownlow Stand.

After the passing of Polly last week, Geelong’s CEO Brian Cook paid tribute to the club legend.

“Polly Farmer was a pioneering figure in both Australian football and in changing Australian culture. Polly’s record as a footballer stands among the greatest that the game has known,” Cook said.

“The fact that Polly, who last played with the Cats in 1967, remains an iconic figure today for the Geelong faithful speaks to the impact he had on the club, our supporters and the region.

“The Geelong Football Club will forever be better due to the fact Polly played and coached us.”
