Geelong are the 2009 AFL premiers

In a match that has lived up to expectations the Geelong Cats have taken out the 2009 AFL premiership. This came after a hardfought match against the St. Kilda Saints. The Cats have now won their second title in three years after playing in their third straight grand final.

The Saints lead at the end of the first, second and third quarters however the Cats just edged the St. Kilda Saints 80-68. It was closer than the score suggests as the Cats scored as time expired.  99251 fans were on had at the Melbourne Cricket Ground to witness the match.

The Saints were behind by just six points with around a minute to play. If they could have got possession in the closing minute they still had a shot at the premiership. Instead the Cats took the ball up the other end to score the final goal of the match to take the title.

It was a match that had it all. The ball was at all times fiercly contested as play went from end to end throughout.

Paul Chapman won the Norm Smith medal which is awarded to the best on ground.
