GEELONG'S 1963 PREMIERSHIP TEAM
Ben Jensen 25 September 2007

By Ben Jensen IN LESS THAN FOUR DAYS the team listed below will hopefully become the second-last Geelong team to win an AFL / VFL Premiership. The tempoerature got as high as the late 20's, as 101,209 punters, including my Grandparents, saw the Cats keep the Hawks goalless in the final quarter to run away fourty-nine point winners.
