Brownlow medallist and former Cats premiership centreman Alistair Lord is punting a Geelong property.
The octogenarian, who took out the 1962 Brownlow the same year he won the Carji Greeves Medal at the Cats, has listed the Linton Lane, Highton property.
Mr Lord has taken up residence in the Charles Brownlow Retirement Village, aptly named after the former Geelong Football Club administrator.
Geraldine Couch and 1962 Brownlow medallist Alistair Lord were part of the official group to open the Brownlow Stand at GMHBA Stadium.
