Paula jumps for joy for the Cats

Paula Simpson loves two things – starjumping and the Cats.

The Ocean Grover was born into a Geelong Cats family with her 86-year-old father a staunch fan.

Her husband and children also follow the Cats, but Paula says she is the “maddest” fan of all.

Paula has been to two grand finals before, but neither of them featured Geelong.

She is hoping to secure a ticket to the game this weekend by winning a competition. She desperately wants to see her team in the big game.

Paula has run through the banner before a Cats game, been in a guard of honour and got her photo taken with the team this year with her dad.

“This week I will do a starjump every day with a different Cats jumper on,” Paula says.

“My Instagram has a picture of me starjumping with the premiership cup.”

Paula thinks Geelong will “definitely win” against the Sydney Swans this Saturday.

“The Cats are definitely going to win and I usually say by 10 points,” she says.

Paula’s favourite Cat is Tom Hawkins because “he seems to be the all round good guy”.

Her tip for the Norm Smith Medal is either Jermey Cameron or Patrick Dangerfield.

“Paddy played awesome on the weekend,” she says.

“You can just see how much he wants it.”
