George DOIG (Legend)

George was a brilliant goal kicker, starting his career with a 9 goal haul and kicking 106 for his first season.

He broke the century every season except his last when he played only 6 games. He was only 175 cm tall and around 74 kgs in weight but he was a strong mark, light and fast in his movements and a brilliant kick with either foot. To the great joy of East Fremantle supporters he kicked 10 or more goals on 14 occasions. After a match in Sydney in 1938 George was dubbed ‘the Bradman of WAFL Football’ by a newspaper reporter. Off the field George was a quiet, dignified family man who received the many accolades that came his way with humility. A true champion and a great man.
