For years now the Geelong Cats have been turning heads with their end-of-season costumes.
Initially a part of Mad Monday — and now Wacky Wednesday as they take a little bit extra time to wind down — Geelong’s repute is such that Getty Photos sends a snapper out to catch all of the motion because the gamers head to the occasion.
This yr it was no completely different.
Whereas some outfits do not take a lot explaining, others require a little bit little bit of background. Some, we’ll utterly trustworthy, we do not know what to make of them.
Here is the perfect of Geelong’s Wacky Wednesday for 2024.
Tom Hawkins as Anthony Ammirati
The retiring Cats champion might have been mistaken for any outdated French athlete from the Paris Olympics, however the pole via the entrance of his shorts is a good clue that he is channelling Anthony Ammirati.
Ammirati made headlines throughout Paris 2024 not for his success, however for the best way he did not recover from the bar within the pole vault.
We’ll go away it at that, however for those who want any extra clarification on what occurred, ABC Leisure’s Velvet Winter has you coated.
Bruhn, Blicavs and Holmes as McLure, Reid and Cleary
This one requires a little bit bit extra backgrounding.
Tanner Bruhn is dressed as journalist Sam McClure, Max Holmes appears to be like uncanny as Channel 7’s Mitch Cleary, and Mark Blicavs is enjoying the a part of West Coast’s primary draft decide Harley Reid.
Earlier than the draft, McClure was unequivocal in a dialogue with Cleary on a podcast that West Coast would not take Reid with the primary draft decide due to the chance he would need to return house to Victoria sooner or later.
Finally he was incorrect.
The Eagles did decide Reid, and {the teenager} starred.
For the footy nuffie, that is the costume alternative that has most likely earned essentially the most laughs.
Jeremy Cameron as Russell Coight
The Geelong spearhead has turn out to be well-known for posting movies from his Freshwater Creek farm on-line, and for being a little bit of larrikin alongside the best way.
So it is apt that Cameron rocked up as Australia’s favorite fictional bushy, Russell Coight.
And truthfully, the resemblance is uncanny.
Here is hoping Cameron avoids within the low season the form of tumbles Coight usually finds himself in.
