Overview
We Are Geelong is the ultimate commemorative keepsake for all AFL and Geelong Football Club fans. Relive the Cat''s incredible journey to their 2022 AFL Premiership triumph with glorious, action-packed photos from the season''s most exciting highlights and behind-the-scenes commentary and insight.
The 2022 Premiership came after a long wait - though the Cats were consistently the most winning team in the competition for years, they just couldn''t seal their in-season form with finals glory. In the 11 seasons since coach Chris Scott led Geelong to the 2011 flag, the Cats had missed only one finals series (2015). It was a puzzle that had caused many to query the way the club approached the cut and thrust of finals. More eyebrows were raised after the team lost the 2021 preliminary final, humiliated by the eventual premier, Melbourne. Even more questions were asked when it entered the season with one of the oldest lists in the game''s history.
Too old, too slow were constant refrains from friends and foes alike, but all that was forgotten as the Cats entered the finals on a 13-game winning streak, casting all potential competitors in their wake.
Could they keep it up at crunch time? You bet they could.
Too old? Well, yes, they were; the Grand Final team was the oldest team to take a field in the League''s history. Too slow? Not a bit of it. Too good? They surely were.
Tracking the most defining moments of the season right up to finals victory, We Are Geelong is a book to take pride of place on the mantelpiece for any self-respecting Geelong fan.>
