GOP Leader: Abortion Is A 'Lifestyle Convenience'
Geelong Cats supporters had been waiting 44 years for a day like Saturday, and they couldn't have asked for more.The Cats dominated the Port Adelaide Power from the opening siren and never let up, finishing their dominant season with a 163-44 victory in the 2007 Australian Football League Grand Final.
Geelong's 119-point win was the highest margin of victory in a Grand Final since 1985. They earned it by swarming the ball and taking advantage of the Power's lackluster form. Any time Port tried to handball their way out of a jam, Geelong was there with a key tackle or takeaway. The Power struggled to take a mark the entire game, while the Cats had no trouble running through the center corridor and setting up goals on the run.
How many goals? Geelong outkicked Port 6 goals to 1 in the second period, 7 goals to 1 in the third, and 6 goals to 1 in the fourth, by which time the Power was just waiting for a merciful final siren. Their supporters must have been wondering if someone secretly replaced the Power with the Carlton Blues' reserve team.
All told, it was a shockingly one-sided finish to an electric Finals Series -- not to mention a bit of a disappointment after the last two Grand Finals, which were both decided by one point. In the end, the Cats had lost only one game since the start of May -- against Port Adelaide, ironically enough -- and their dominance throughout the regular season was rewarded with an AFL Premiership title.
Good show, AFL. Let's do it again next year.
