Watch heartwarming moment Aussie rules hero lifts club’s water boy from crowd to join in grand final celebrations

GEELONG Cats water boy Sam Moorfoot was brought onto the pitch by his heroes as they celebrated their grand final win over Sydney Swans.

More than 100,000 watched Geelong thrash the Swans at the MCG.

But it was the post-match scenes that have really captured hearts.

Moments after their 81-point victory, captain Joel Selwood lifted the well-known 29-year-old onto the pitch to join the celebrations.

Selwood was doing a lap of honour along with the rest of his teammates.

And he spotted Moorfoot before pulling him from the stands onto the field.

Moorfoot, who has down syndrome, reacted with a beaming smile.

His big moment got even better when Selwood handed him his winners medal.

Moorfoot then turned to the crowd and showed off the medal, getting a warm reaction from fellow supporters.

The water boy has been working for the club since 2015 and more than earned his moment in the spotlight.
