Geelong vs Sydney

'Colossal' star gets monkey off back; all-time redemption story's perfect ending: Cats Ratings.

Was important early in helping the Cats lock the ball in their front yarn. Was busy across half-forward and the wing early and found plenty of the footy. As he’s done several times this year, got better as the game wore on after a quiet first half. Hard on the inside but classy on the outside. Added another in the second term. Seemed to run with Tom Papley for large stints of the match and had him well beaten. Had a big moment at the start of the third term, winning a free kick for holding the ball and converting his set-shot. Was the beneficiary of the Swans tagging Tom Stewart and Jack Henry taking Lance Franklin. He had 12 touches in the first term — he had 12 for the entire preliminary final — four intercepts and three score involvements to set the tone. His run and carry, as well as his ability to finish in front of goal, was brilliant. A premiership player in his 250th game — not a bad day to say the least. The dominant ruck on the ground.
