They were marching as one on the road to the holy grail, or so said Hunters and Collectors. And last night the Geelong Cats won it by beating Port Adelaide 24.19(163) to 6.8(44). For those of you who don't know a lot about Aussie rules, that's 24 six point goals and 19 one point behinds for Geelong to Port's 6 six point goals and 8 one point behinds. That's an ass kicking in any language, in any country. And least you think that's how all AFL games go, last year's grand final was decided by one point.
The folks in Geelong have been waiting for 44 years for this flag, and now it's here. Not only did they win the the AFL premiership, but they won the VFL premiership, The Brownlow Medal the NAB Rising Star (read rookie of the year) and the Coach of the Year. They were all conquering heros in every facet of the game through out this season and now the discussion begins over if this '07 Cats team is the best side to ever play footy.
