Morris and the Geelong Cats

“We welcome this exciting announcement for Chris and Morris. It underscores the enduring relationship between Geelong Football Club and Morris, which has only deepened over the past 14 years. Morris has been more than a sponsor; they have been an integral part of our club’s journey, supporting our coaches and players. We look forward to many more years of collaboration and shared achievements.”
“At Morris, we are incredibly proud of our 14-year partnership with the Geelong Cats. This collaboration has transcended the traditional sponsorship model, evolving into a powerful relationship that reflects our shared commitment to excellence, community, and sustainable success. We have stood by Chris and the Cats through their triumphs and challenges, and we are excited to continue this journey with Chris in his new role.”
“I am honoured to join Morris at a time when our partnership with the Geelong Cats is stronger than ever. The values that Morris holds—integrity, ambition, and a commitment to fostering meaningful relationships—are the same values that have driven the Cats' success on and off the field. I look forward to contributing to both Morris and the ongoing success of this remarkable partnership.”
