Cats fans will have the opportunity to pay tribute to their retiring heroes on Saturday, as the club prepares to celebrate the careers of Tom Hawkins and Zach Tuohy.  

Geelong will give away 25,000 Zach Tuohy and Tom Hawkins face masks ahead of the clash with West Coast, so supporters can don the look of their favourite Cats champions.  

Masks will be handed out at all gates at GMHBA Stadium on Saturday, ahead of Geelong’s final game of the home and away season against the Eagles.  

Hawkins and Tuohy have played over 500 games combined for the Cats across their careers, winning multiple premierships between them and breaking numerous records.

Tom Hawkins will finish his career as the Geelong Football Club’s games record holder, while also sitting in third position on the Cats all time goalkicking table.  

With his iconic Moroccan sunset moustache and signature long kicks, Tuohy has been a Cats fan favourite for several years, while also holding the record for most AFL games played by an Irish player.  

Fans are encouraged to be in their seat by 1pm on Saturday afternoon for a chance to win a giveaway, before the opening bounce at 1.45pm.  

The two retiring greats will be celebrated after the final siren on Saturday, commemorating their careers as Geelong wraps up their regular season.  

It will also be the last chance for Cats fans to participate in and witness the “Reggie Wave,” Zach Tuohy’s traditional post game salute to the Reg Hickey Stand. 

Tickets for the game are still available via Ticketmaster or follow the link below for more information.
