The Cats have locked in delisted Melbourne onballer Phil Read, who was best-afield or Sandringham against Geelong in last year’s grand final.
Cameron Ling, one of Read’s surfing buddies, initiated the move, suggesting VFL coach Leigh Tudor contact Read.
"We had a bit of a chat and what he wanted to do and what we were looking for .... it turned out perfect," Tudor said on Wednesday morning.
The 108-game AFL player will miss the first four matches of the season owing to a suspension for headbutting Matthew Stokes in the grand final. | | | |
