DID WE GET IT RIGHT?

1. Jordan Murdoch HAVE YOUR SAY ONLINE

Jordan Murdoch added another beauty from a harsh holding the ball decision against the home side, before Jonathan Patton goalled just inside halftime to keep his team’s head above water.

The Cats midfield, led by Patrick Dangerfield, Sam Menegola, Mitch Duncan and Mark Blicavs, outmuscled the Giants at the stoppages and centre clearances.

Defensively, they forced the Giants to either kick down the line or try to handball their way through the maze.

But the fleet-footed Giants pressed hard in the final term.

Rory Lobb sliced through a long goal from a tough angle to cut the margin from 20 to 14.

Then when Lachie Whitfield produced the goal of the night with a left foot snap from the pocket, there was just a kick in it.

It looked like the dam wall had broken for the Cats.

Two against one, Jonathan Patton marked at the top of the goal square to level the scores, before a Tom Scully snap was punched through for a minor score, giving the Giants the lead for the first time since early in the first term.

After 110 minutes of lacklustre entertainment, it was ‘edge of your seat’ football.

With 130 seconds remaining on the clock it would be Dangerfield, smothered on his left before regathering and blasting on his right to send the Cats forward.

Aaron Black marked in front, 60 metres out, before sending the ball inside 50, only into the uncontested arms of Jeremy Cameron.

The Giants had the numbers, but as footy has shown this season, the game is never over until the siren goes.

They played it safe until the ball ended out of bounds, with 84 seconds to play.

Murdoch sent the ball forward again with just over a minute to play, before a desperate scramble inside the Cats’ 50 saw Dylan Shiel spray the ball out on the full.

Harry Taylor would pump it long, and Cam Guthrie would produce a timely smother deep inside 50, before a clearing kick from Heath Shaw was paid deliberate out of bounds.

Harsh, but fair — Shaw had no intention of keeping the ball in play.

And Zach Tuohy would send the final kick forward towards Hawkins, one on one against Phil Davis.

The rest is now history; the two sides walking away with two points each to add even more complexity to an already fascinating AFL season.
