Stats
Bio
Recruited from the University Blacks in the VAFA, Pat Patterson originally hailed from Strathmerton in the Goulburn Valley. A slightly built utility standing 179cm, he earned a spot on the Geelong list in 1969, joining a strong squad that was pushing for premiership contention under coach Peter Pianto. Patterson broke into the senior side in Round 7 against South Melbourne and managed to hold his place for eight matches during the middle of the season, a respectable achievement in a team that boasted superstars like Polly Farmer and Doug Wade and eventually finished third. Primarily operating as a defensive option or wingman who could execute a disciplined role, he failed to hit the scoreboard during his brief tenure. His VFL career was limited to that single season before he departed Kardinia Park, leaving a legacy as an amateur recruit who successfully cracked a finals-bound lineup.
