The Cats have booted the goal of the night in a manner that would make an English Premier League club proud.
It would have elicited a nod of approval from grand final great Wayne Harmes such was its audacity.
Gryan Miers stopped the ball on the boundary deep in the Geelong pocket just as it was about to roll over the line, and then in a split second booted it off the ground towards goal like a soccer cross. It was similar to the way in which Harmes was able to keep the ball alive in the 1979 grand final against Collingwood (OK, we are showing a bit of age here).
As Miers’ kick ball bobbled across the face of the goals, Oliver Henry pounced like a soccer striker and tapped it through with his right boot for a major.
