Club Representative Coaching Honours Geofrey Peter Motley OAM[2] (3 January 1935 – 26 September 2023) was an Australian rules footballer and coach who played for South Australian National Football League (SANFL) side Port Adelaide.
"[2] For eight seasons from 1959 to 1966, Motley captained the then dominating team of the SANFL, Port Adelaide, including a stint as captain-coach from 1959 to 1961.
In this era, not being reported for foul play was a rarity for a player as having a certain amount of mongrel or thuggery was seen as commonplace.
The Roosters won the minor premiership in 1967 but were unable to compete successfully against Sturt and Port Adelaide in the major round.
Under Motley's tutelage, Australian Football Hall of Fame Legend Barrie Robran debuted and won his first Magarey Medal.
