## Season Summary

[edit]

Geelong were again competitive this season finishing with a 9-5 record in the home-and-away season. In the sectional rounds, Geelong's loss to Melbourne, and lack of a large victory against Collingwood and St Kilda, led to Geelong finishing in third position and being eliminated from the major premiership.
