The Magpies held on to a one-point lead to defeat the Giants and secure their spot in the AFL grand final
The Giants couldn’t muster a major until captain Greene broke the drought almost six minutes into the second term, taking a hand-off from Jesse Hogan to convert from 50 metres.
Greene opened the second half with a brilliant snap and the Giants led by a game-high 17 points before former GWS forward Bobby Hill broke a Collingwood goal drought that had lasted more than an hour. The pressure was immense and even experienced field umpire Brett Rosebury wasn’t immune. He had to throw the ball up after incorrectly calling it out of bounds when it had bounced on the boundary line and into Collingwood hands.
