2007 Grand final Day

There was a great turn up at the clubrooms for the 2007 AFL Grand Final to watch Geelong break its 44 year drought by defeating [annihilating] Port Adelaide. Of course there was overwhelming support from our (mainly) Victorians for Geelong and lots of cheering for the many goals. A fantastic atmosphere prevailed with a little punt on the outcomes, pies at half time and a little tippling at the bar.
