Start of the 2nd half... Mooney back on the ground after taking a knock in the 1st half, lining up now at half-forward...

[MagpieBat]

Geelong all over the shop with their kicking - the Doug Wade stand has been knocked down and the wind is making kicking for goal down that end a b-tch.

But the Pies squib a kick-in and the Cats nail their 2nd goal.

Pies to the left of screen...

Some great defensive work by James Helliar sees the Pies go coast-to-coast and K. Pendles kicks his second goal for the day.

Start of the final quarter at Kardinia Park. Collingwood trail by one solitary goal. Can they get up?

Pies move ahead by a point as big man Patrick Flynn bursts through a kicks a minor...

42 plays 41...

[MagpieBat]

Ugle, in the words of Luke Mason, kicks a Luke Ball in the 2011 Prelim-style goal from a stoppage in the forward pocket!

Mason: "Sharked the ball from the stoppage and jammed it on the boot. Pure instinct."

Cats 5.11.41
Pies 7.7.49

[MagpieBat]

Mason says the Pies tackling intensity has lifted "ten fold" in this last quarter.

Cats slam one into their goal post, cough it up on the wing, Pies take advantage, Gault to Ugle in the goal square, another for the Pies!

15 seconds to go, Cats stream into forward 50, take a shot... oh, Shae Mac, spoils, saves the day again!

SIREN!
