The AFL premiership cup has officially landed in Brimbank.
Mother of God Primary School was one of three lucky schools in Brimbank this week that received a visit from the league’s holy grail in the hands of happy Western Bulldogs staff.
Getting into the action was principal Gerard Broadfoot, a life-long Dogs fan who was born in 1954, the year of the club’s first premiership, and the school’s biggest fan, Nathan Goncalves, who went to the grand final on October 1 when the Dogs beat the Sydney Swans by 22 points, ending a 62 year premiership drought.
The cup also visited Sunshine Harvester and Albion North primary schools yesterday.
