The City of Greater Geelong will host a street parade to celebrate the Geelong Cats winning the 2022 Toyota AFL Grand Final.
In a magnificent performance from the Geelong Cats, the local AFL team claimed the 10th VFL-AFL flag in club history, defeating Sydney by 81 points to win the 2022 Grand Final on Saturday, signifying the perfect end to a dominant season.
Defined as a legacy-cementing premiership triumph for veteran superstars like Patrick Dangerfield (his first flag), Joel Selwood (his fourth, becoming the first player to win four flags at Geelong) and Isaac Smith (his fourth but first at Geelong, winning the Norm Smith), the match was one of the biggest wins in Grand Final history, with Geelong prevailing 20.13 (133) to 8.4 (52).
