GOAL TIGERS - Terrific work from Vickery who marks low down before going back coolly and slotting a clutch goal as the yellow and black roar reverberates around the MCG.
23:11
SCORE
GOAL - Tigers (Ty Vickery)
24:20
The weather has closed in once again making handling the slippery ball extremely difficult for both teams.
26:00
The Cats' defence once again under siege as the Tigers head inside 50m however Enright reads the play expertly, floating across the pack to take the relieving mark.
26:40
The Motlop kick inside 50m is ordinary and gives the Tigers' defence a chance to get numbers back and clear the ball from the danger area.
28:00
Johnson creates something from nothing and floats the pass to the top of the square however the ball slides through the hands of Burbury and a crucial chance is lost.
29:55
Three quarter time at the MCG and we are in for a thriller with Richmond banging home four goals to one in that term to reduce the Cat's lead to just 7 points.
29:56
The siren has sounded to end Q3.
Quarter 4
00:00
Q4 is now underway.
00:01
Here we go for what should be a ripper final quarter and it is the Cats who win the first clearance.
00:20
The clearing kick from Deledio floats over the boundary line on the full giving the Cats a chance to send the ball back inside 50.
01:30
The rain has really set in now and the footy is like handling a bar of soap at the moment.
02:20
GOAL CATS - The cream rises to the top at the crucial moments and this time it is the skipper, Selwood, who shrugs off the tackle and his long shot at goal bounces truly.
02:42
SCORE
GOAL - Cats (Joel Selwood)
04:01
SCORE
BEHIND - Tigers (Rushed)
04:15
BEHIND TIGERS - A rushed behind for the Tigers who now trail by two straight kicks and we will have a break in play with Selwood off for the blood rule.
05:22
Cats Interchange - Joel Selwood off due to the blood rule.
05:40
Inspirational stuff from Cotchin who courageously goes back with the flight of the ball to force a throw in just on Richmond's side of centre.
07:00
Enright reads the tap beautifully before offloading to Stokes however the clearing kick is not good and is chopped off right on centre wing.
07:55
GOAL TIGERS - Captain's goal number two, however this time it is the Tigers' Cotchin pouncing on the loose ball before sliding his kick through from 20m and we have a one goal ball game.
08:12
SCORE
GOAL - Tigers (Trent Cotchin)
10:20
BEHIND CATS - Outstanding defence from Morris as he goes back bravely to rush the ball through for a behind just when the dangerous Varcoe was lurking in the square.
10:38
SCORE
BEHIND - Cats (Rushed)
11:45
Poor delivery into the forward line from Edwards and the pressure is off the Cats' defence for the moment with the kick over the boundary line on the full.
12:45
A chance to gather our breathe as Motlop is tied up on the Geelong half forward line and we will have a ball up.
13:40
GOAL CATS - Sensational play from Murdoch as he closes down Vlastuin to force the turnover before running onto the bouncing ball and screwing back his left foot snap for a wonderful six-pointer.
14:06
SCORE
GOAL - Cats (Jordan Murdoch)
15:55
GOAL CATS - The class and experience of Bartel rising to the fore as he somehow manages to squeeze the pass out to the unmarked Hunt who runs on and bangs it home for the Cats' second in a row.
16:09
SCORE
GOAL - Cats (Taylor Hunt)
17:10
SCORE
GOAL - Tigers (Ty Vickery)
17:25
GOAL TIGERS - Brilliant reply for the Tigers via Vickery who shows the agility of a rover to step back inside traffic and from 40m he splits the middle and brings the army to their feet.
19:00
Guthrie sends his kick high along the wing and it is Rance coming through to crash the pack and thump the ball to the safety of the boundary line.
20:10
Poor delivery into the forward line once again proving costly for the Tigers as Kelly marks on his chest entering time on in the last quarter.
21:40
The Cats have the ball bottled up deep inside their forward line but there's still plenty of time left on the clock for the Tigers.
22:32
SCORE
BEHIND - Cats (Rushed)
22:40
BEHIND CATS - Experienced heads bobbing up all over the park for Geelong and this time it is Bartel getting away his shot at goal however a Tiger fist sees the ball rushed through.
23:45
The Tigers are still full of running and they work the ball out of defence with a slick chain of handballs.
25:29
SCORE
BEHIND - Cats (Jordan Murdoch)
25:30
Hawkins with the centring ball however Vickery has been important in the final term and he claims the mark at the top of the Cats' goal square.
25:53
Tigers Interchange - Chris Newman off due to an injury.
26:40
Johnson shrugs off the would be tackler with extreme strength and sends his kick into the pocket however the Tigers have numbers back and force the ball up.
28:00
The Tigers are on the break and it is Martin sending the ball inside 50 however Lonergan stands tall as the Cats once again repel.
29:18
SCORE
BEHIND - Cats (Joel Selwood)
29:30

SCORE
BEHIND - Cats (Steve Johnson)

30:52
SCORE
GOAL - Tigers (Jack Riewoldt)
32:00
Jackson a chance from deep in the pocket however his hurried shot floats across the face and out of bounds on the full and with it, most likely, goes the Tigers' last hope.
32:50
GOAL TIGERS - The ball drops into the arms of Lloyd who wastes no time in going back and banging it through however the final siren sounds in the background just as the ball crosses the line.
