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.

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.

Brandon has created a blog about the EPL Club Manchester United .If you are a United fan or just like soccer in general, have a look at it. The blog so far has Player Profiles on Carlos Tevez, Edwin Van Der Sar and Cristiano Ronaldo. The profiles cover how many goals they have scored, and how many apperances they have made for the club. The blog also includes a poll on which "A-League" club is your favourite, but has written every English Premier League club instead. The blog can do with some more posts and infromation on different aspects of Manchester United but so far so good.
