Congratulations to Geof on his induction to the Australian Hall of Fame. An amazing record with the Maggies and also a coach of the Roosters. Well Deserved.

Well done Mots'. Nice to have one of SA's finest acknowledged.
Also father of football legend Peter Motley, much loved by South Australian and Victorian Blues fans.
Great footballing family.

Motley was the first person who I ever heard who used the word c**t at a 3/4 time address at Prossie. Mum wacked me on the head when I asked what it meant & I was'nt allowed to go out to the huddles again.
So yeah, he's in my HOF.

Geof Motley is a worth Hall of Famer, should have been in there when it was established.

I'd like to thank the Victorians for our token hall of fame nominee this year.

FFS how Carey hasn't been inducted this year when persons with lesser careers such as Thompson, Brown, Hocking and that Woodduck umpire from Queensland has, is a travesty

Soooooo, its OK to recognise the most games umpired in a "major" league but not the most games played in a major/state league?????

Well done Mots.

Hes the most premiershipped player in the SANFL isnt he?

Congratulations to one of our states greatest

Yep.

Played in all nine between 1954-1965.

And coached one (1959) for good measure...

Congrats, but no Super......tisk tisk tisk

There was an interesting interview with Geoff and Peter on ABC Grandstand last year.

That young feller had so much talent. His injuries are a tragedy.

Congrats a true SANFL legend

Please someone tell me....?

Why has it taken so long..?

He didn't play in Victoria

As I posted in the history forum, a little known fact about Motley is he was appointed as Glenelg captain-coach in 1962 but Port refused to clear him, so he returned to the Magpies.
