Collingwood vs Geelong

The game looked finished at three-quarter-time but Geelong pulled off one of the great heists as Collingwood was left to rue atrocious goalkicking.

This included a 50 metre penalty and set shot to Patrick Dangerfield which drew some feedback from opposing skipper, Scott Pendlebury. In the passage of play, Dangerfield fall to the ground following a shepherd from defender Brayden Maynard. Dangerfield was then awarded a free kick and 50 metre penalty as Maynard was judged to have impeded the Geelong star's run at the ball. The Pies were in control for the majority of the first half, but allowed the Cats to hang in the contest through inaccuracy in front of goal.

The 21-year-old continued his outstanding start to the season and ended with 28 disposals and six clearances while also drifting forward to be a regular target inside 50. Tim Taranto (35 disposals, one goal) also stood out in the second half in particular while Harry Himmelberg (three goals) and Jesse Hogan (two goals) ensured the Giants midfield dominance was reflected on the scoreboard. Mabior Chol and Levi Casboult (both three goals) kept the scoreboard respectable for the Suns while Jack Lukosius was missed in defence but set up several shots on goal with his neat kicking when playing in the front-half. A nine-goal final term by the Lions piled on the pain for North who have a 1-2 record heading to the SCG next weekend to face Sydney. Taylor Adams (30 disposals), Jamie Elliott (26), Jordan De Goey (20), Nick Daicos (26) and Steele Sidebottom (19) were everywhere in the third term as Collingwood took complete control. Joe Daniher's shot on the run from outside 50 in the opening minutes began a seven-goal barrage in the opening term to have the hosts up by 30 at the first break. Having been somewhat below their best in two hard-fought wins in the opening two rounds of 2022, the Lions came out of the blocks roaring. Brisbane resumed their charge in the third quarter but despite several impressive marks by Cameron, the Lions' forward failed to kick a goal, scoring four behinds in the quarter. Adams had 11 disposals and six clearances in the third quarter alone. Patrick Dangerfield (25 disposals), Tom Stewart (29), Cam Guthrie (22), Brandan Parfitt (21) and Selwood (22) were prolific ball-winners for the Cats. Brisbane have mauled North Melbourne by 108-points at the Gabba to continue their perfect start to the AFL season. But they responded with 7.2 to 0.1 in the fourth quarter in a salute to captain Joel Selwood, who overtook Carlton legend Stephen Kernahan as the longest-serving captain in league history.

Geelong has overrun Collingwood in the last quarter to win by 13 points at the MCG.

The Coleman Medallist slotted three of his six goals to reel in a Collingwood lead and help ensure the club celebrated Selwood in the appropriate style. Daicos kicked his first goal in the black and white from deep on the boundary at the city end on the round in the first quarter and they came from everywhere. Kernahan spoke to Selwood in front of the group on the ground before the opening bounced, before Selwood got to work.

Milestone Cat Joel Selwood says his teammates were always confident they could overcome a five-goal deficit at the final break.

"The first time I had a real interest in a Grand Final was '95 and he kicked five that day and broke my heart before half-time. I made mention that he made me cry as a seven-year-old," he said. "The fans can get there and celebrate the moment; we've been deprived of that. I thought at three-quarter time they didn't have many reasons to believe we couldn't turn it around the way we did." It's a record that is very, very hard to achieve and very, very hard to chase down. They had confidence that the run would come and we would get there.

That being said, I survived the Tony Shaw years so this is nothing tbh.” ABC News sports lead Kyle Pollard wrote: “Dahlhaus was huge in the last quarter. Nothing like blowing a five-goal lead... We had confidence at three quarter time even though the third quarter just wasn’t ours. We got outplayed big time but outstanding by the boys. The Geelong Cats have come from the clouds in an absolute thriller at the MCG to celebrate its captains milestone in style.
