Bomber to stay a Catter.

Geelongs premiership coach, Mark "Bomber" Thompson is just one of seven AFL coaches who come out of contract at the end of the season. However, Bomber and the club are in no hurry to cement an extension for Bomber has stated that he has no plans to leave the club. He has made it clear though, that he would like a committment before the end of the season, and when the club was asked if an offer would be put forward before round 22, Fox Sports qouted Cats Chief Executive, Brian Cook "Very much so". The club is comfortable that Bomber is comfortable in the position he is in, he's very laidback about it. If he was to agree to the offer tomorrow, it would be accepted from the clubs point of view, if he was to wait 2,3 or 4 months even, it would still be the same. He is likely to be offered a 2 year deal. With all this in mind Geelong are likely to be under the supervision of Bomber untill atleast 2011.

Steve Johnson gets Green-light.

Geelong all-australian star forward, Steve Johnson has been cleared by the AFL tribunal over an incident involving Hawthorns Luke Hodge. Steve was cited during the game after allegedley, trying to "strike" Luke, for being angry at him over an incident that happened moments before, involving team mate Matthew Stokes. The Cats could have pleaded guilty and received 45 points towards any future suspension, but with his impeccable record in previous seasons, they believed him when he said he was trying to brush Hodge off, and took it to the tribunal who also believed him. Fox Sports quote Steve Johnson to have said “I believe that if I had of attempted to strike him I would have struck him,”.

Geelong Football Club

Geelong Football Club is regarded as one of the best in the league at this point in time, after having a record breaking season and winning the 2007 AFL Grand Final Geelong broke its 44 year premiership drought. Geelong also went on to lose just a single game in the 2008 home and away season, but were unfrotunatley beaten by Hawthorne in the Grand Final, leaving many fans disapointed in the club. With a strong team out to play in the 2009 season, and more new recruits, Geelong should be able to continue its strong team through out the season. We are currentley in the semi final in the 2009 NAB Cup, to play against Carlton, after having beaten Adelaide and Port Adelaide in previous rounds.
