Colourful Cats footy fan Troy "Catman" West has hung up his make-up and his blue and white costumes, citing online hate as one of the factors for his decision.
West posted a "public statement" on social media confirming he was "severing all ties with the Geelong cheer squad and Geelong Football Club", hinting at a falling-out.
West - the son of 1961 Carji Greeves medallist and 1963 Geelong premiership player Roy West - never had an official role at the Cats, but was well known for his lavish costumes and vocal presence at games.
