Geelong Win NAB Cup 2009


Geelong once again enforced the clubs stregnth on Friday night with their 76 point win over the Collingwood Magpies. The only setback was a serious looking knee injury from Josh Hunt who appears to have damaged his anterior cruciate ligament. This is Geelongs second pre-season title in the past 4 years with their win over Adelaide in 2006. The crowd of 37,277 people watched a great game that saw Joel Selwood win the Micheal Tuck Medal being best affield on the night. As the Cats accepted the cup coach "Bomber" Thompson announced that $50,000 would be donated to the Victorian Bush Fire Appeal. The future looks like another bright one for the Cats this Home and Away Season.
