We are deeply saddened by the passing of Frank Costa.
A Geelong icon, Frank’s contribution to the city, football club and as Patron of Read the Play can never be overstated.
A warm and generous man who always had time for our program and staff, he will be greatly missed.

Mark O'Connor remembers getting steamrolled by Harry Taylor in his first training session.
Now he's played eight games on the trot and found his feet at AFL level.
