Bio
Recruited from Congupna in the Goulburn Valley, Damian Drum arrived at Geelong in the early 1980s as a versatile utility capable of filling various roles across the ground. His nine-year stint at Kardinia Park was characterized by perseverance, as he battled persistent injuries and the challenge of breaking into a strengthening Cats lineup during a competitive era. Although he never fully established himself as a regular senior player, managing just 63 games, his leadership capabilities were evident when he captained the reserves to the 1989 premiership while the seniors contested that year's legendary Grand Final against Hawthorn. Drum retired from playing in 1990, eventually leveraging his tactical understanding to embark on a coaching career that saw him lead Fremantle at AFL level before a later transition into federal politics.
