Geelong's 2009 home and clash guernseys

The 2009 Geelong Football Club season is the club's 110th season in the Australian Football League (AFL). Geelong won the 2009 NAB Cup, their third night series/pre-season premiership, defeating Collingwood by 76 points, and finished the regular season in second position on the ladder, resulting in qualification for the 2009 AFL finals series. Geelong's regular season record (18 wins, four losses) was the first time a team had won 18 or more matches in the VFL/AFL's regular season for three consecutive seasons (2007, 2008, 2009).[1] Geelong then proceeded to win its qualifying and preliminary finals in succession to earn a place in the 2009 AFL Grand Final against the minor premiers St Kilda. Geelong won the 2009 Grand Final over St. Kilda by 80 points to 68.[2]

Honour Recipient Awarded by

Records
  • First, and only, time a club has won 18 or more matches in three consecutive VFL/AFL seasons (2007, 2008, 2009).
  • Most times a player has been awarded the Leigh Matthews Trophy as the AFLPA's Most Valuable Player – Gary Ablett, Jr. (three times; 2007, 2008, 2009).
  • Highest number of disposals in a single VFL/AFL match – Gary Ablett, Jr. in round four against Adelaide (46 disposals; tied with Nathan Buckley).[note 1]
  • Highest number of handpasses in a single VFL/AFL match – Gary Ablett, Jr. in round four against Adelaide (33 handpasses).[note 2]

[edit] Notes

  1. ^ Ablett and Buckley's record is the official record for the highest number of disposals in a single VFL/AFL match since Champion Data started recording statistics in 1999, and also since quarters were shortened to 20 minutes in 1994. The record has since been broken by Dane Swan (Collingwood), who garnered 48 disposals in Round 10, 2009.
  2. ^ The previous record for most handpasses was held by Matt Priddis (West Coast) and was set during the 2008 AFL season.
