Tom Stewart Press Conference | Round 10

Tom Stewart speaks with media about Geelong's new partnership with Dulux, and on the upcoming game against Fremantle on Saturday. Presented by Dulux.

“We recently celebrated a decade long partnership with Surf Life Saving Australia that has seen us provide over 40,000 litres of paint for surf clubs around the country. Clubs all along the western Victorian coast, from Torquay to Portland, have been provided paint by Dulux to help them keep their clubhouses protected from the harsh climate.” 

“We hope that the Dulux Colour Your Club program will celebrate and support Geelong, Surf Coast and Western District regional football clubs and the position they hold as a hub of their communities.”

Dulux Colour Your Club initiative will call on sports clubs in the region to nominate their club for a painted makeover of their facilities. 

More details on how clubs can nominate will be shared in the coming weeks.
