Both teams looked happy to take the pace out of the game in that quarter, possibly due to the heat which is looking like it’s starting to play a part.

There were missed chances at both end, more of them for Collingwood, but some massive goals to keep the lead swinging between our two mighty teams.

It’s an exhausting, bruising grand final. And this last quarter is going to be a slog for the ages.

Hold on to your hats.
