Sam Moorfoot, who has been the water boy at Geelong Football Club for the past seven years, will play at his own grand final for the first time on Sunday. | By Najma Sambul
As head water boy for the Cats on their main training day, Sam Moorfoot never thought he would be playing for his own premiership medal.
“Sam has let everyone know about the big game this week. He’s not shy of that. He was even caught earlier in the week doing hot and cold recovery with the boys at the club. We’re all really excited for him,” Selwood said.Dave McPherson “We then recruited Sam as head water boy on our main training day and he has never looked back since. We share a very special friendship, and I consider him like family. He has my back and I have his.”“I think Joel is amazing. A great role model but also a little bit cheeky. He treats me like a brother and always looks out for me,” Moorfoot said.Tim Downes was involved in a working group to establish the Geelong Dragons, and met Moorfoot in 2017.
“He came to me one day and said ‘mum, I think I’ll retire’. There was no other league for people with disabilities,” she said.
