NAB Cup Grand Final- Collingwood v Geelong


Unfortunately for Collingwood they were smashed in the Grand Final of the NAB Cup. Geelong were just to good on the night, the winnning margin being 76 points- 0.18.19 (127) to 1.6.6 (51). The first quarter was competitive and the scores were level at quarter time, but then afterwards Geelong began to assert their authority and run away with the game. The Michael tuck medallist was Joel Selwood, for his outstanding performance of 33 possesions and two goals. This was a spectacular acievement for Selwood as he is only in his third year of AFL. Gary Ablett also played well with 35 possesions and three goals. For Collingwood Dale Thomas played well with two goals. Unfortunately for Geelong they will be without premiership defender Josh Hunt for the rest of the season because he ruptured his Anterior Cruciate Ligament in his left knee. Collingwood came away with no injuries.
