Marcus Drum joins the Cats in return for pick 49 in the national draft. Drum has played 22 games for the Dockers since being tabbed at pick 10 in the 2005 draft. He debuted against Sydney in round 13 in 2006, and helped Fremantle reach the finals for just the second time. Drum won Fremantle's Beacon Award for the best up-and-coming player after his debut season.

“We see Marcus as a versatile player that can fit into our structure,” Geelong’s general manager of football operations Neil Balme said. “He has played some good games at Fremantle and we feel that his best football is still ahead of him.

“Marcus is only 22, and is a quality person. He was a top 10 draft pick just four years ago, and has talent and a good work ethic, and sees the opportunity to play as the most important thing given our tight salary structure.”

The 22 year old Drum is the nephew of former Geelong rover (and Dockers coach), Damian Drum. When not playing for the Dockers, Drum lined up with Perth in the WAFL, where he played 39 games and kicked nine goals.

Drum stands at 191 cm, and was originally drafted after playing TAC Cup with the Murray Bushrangers.

This article in the Addy also shows his love of being at his new home

I think he will thrive if he works hard, and the competition for spots in defence can only prove good for the team :thumbsu:

Re: Welcome Marcus Drum

Marcus did another interview this week, which has probably understandably got lost in the aftermath of the Stokes story breaking.

I like his maturity and the way he speaks about our players, and also just that it sounds like he's got the right attitude to how hard he needs to work.

If I have one criticism though Marcus, please stop saying their and they. I know it's probably subconscious, but you're back home, and a Cats player now-it's we :)
