Lindsay Lamb

Recruited from Barrabool, Lindsay Lamb played a brief but historically significant role at Geelong, largely due to the industrial turmoil his presence ignited rather than his on-field performance. After making a solitary debut in late 1933, Lamb returned to the senior side for the start of the 1935 season, where he became the focal point of a threatened "black ban" by the Waterside Workers' Federation due to his role as volunteer labour during local meat strikes. The controversy created immense tension at the Pivot, with reports suggesting five teammates requested his omission fearing union repercussions, and the season opener against Carlton was nearly abandoned before the club president intervened to ensure Lamb took the field. He held his spot for just three games during this volatile period before losing his place in the side and eventually continuing his career with Newtown & Chilwell.
