Geelong Cats

Geelong CatsHaving been founded in 1859, the Geelong Cats are the second oldest football club in the AFL and is also one of the oldest in the world. The Cats have won eight premierships, garnering a reputation as both world beaters and underachievers, highlighted by their record breaking 2007 Grand final triumph over Port Adelaide and their 2008 Premiership loss to the Hawthorn Hawks, and their thrilling 2009 victory over St Kilda.

Their 2011 AFL Premiership victory under new coach Chris Scott cements the Cats as one of the greatest AFL teams of all time.
