Terry Farman

Recruited from the nearby coastal town of Queenscliff, Terry Farman was a reliable defender who became a defensive staple for Geelong during the mid-to-late 1960s. Wearing the number 15 guernsey, he established himself as a consistent half-back flanker, playing his role with little fuss while often tasked with shutting down dangerous opposition forwards. His most notable campaign came in 1967, where he played every match of the season, a run that culminated in an appearance in the high-scoring Grand Final loss to Richmond.

Farman was known for his durability during his prime, stringing together 58 consecutive games to anchor the Cats' backline. That impressive streak was eventually snapped in 1969 not by injury, but by a severe bout of tonsillitis. Although he returned to be a regular fixture in the senior side for the next two seasons, his body began to let him down in the early 1970s. After struggling with injuries throughout 1972 and 1973, he retired having served the club as a dependable 100-game player.
