McCarthy and Daniher combine to get it to Zorko but the captain’s rushed shot on goal from 25m out floats out of bounds on the full. It doesn’t score! Just like McCluggage earlier in the quarter.
This is unbelievable. With 3:29 to go, it’s still all level at 10.12.72 apiece.
Daniel is pinged for putting the ball out of bounds deliberately in the Bulldogs’ backline. It’s a harsh call because it looked like a skill error more than anything.
Neale takes the free kick but his snap shot from 45m out misses to the left.
We are back to a tied-up ball game with 4:31 to go, it’s 10.12.72 each of two.
Daniel kicks it back into attack where Bontempelli takes a huge pack mark over McInerney.
From 52m out on a tough angle, he misses to the right.
But it puts the Bulldogs back in front by a point with 5:11 left, 10.12.72 to 10.11.71.
Hunter pings Coleman holding the ball and drives a deep ball forward, but Gardiner collects the crumbs and Brisbane clear the danger.
With 6:11 to go, these two sides are still locked on 10.11.71. What a finish.
McCluggage’s rushed shot from the heavy congestion floats the wrong side of the behind post and fails to score!
With 7:11 remaining, it’s still 10.11.71 apiece. Are we headed for extra time?
Andrews takes a strong, contested mark in unfamiliar territory in attack.
But from 50m out in front, he misses slightly to the left, showing why he is a two-time All-Australian backman.
Scores are level with 8:20 left in the game, 10.11.71 apiece.
This is an absolute thriller!!
Daniher gathers the crumbs out the back of the pack and lobs it up to the top of the goal square where Fullarton takes the strong, overhead mark.
From 15m out directly in front, Fullarton makes no mistake and ends the Bulldogs’ run of four consecutive goals.
More importantly, he cuts Brisbane’s deficit to just one point with 9:12 left in the game, 10.10.70 to 10.11.71.
McCarthy takes an impressive mark but from 52m out, his set shot misses to the right.
With 11:27 remaining in the final quarter, the Bulldogs lead by seven points, 10.11.71 to 9.10.64.
Bailey Smith has been sensational in this final quarter and kicked the Bulldogs’ third goal of the term.
They’ve now kicked the last four majors of the game after trailing by 18 points.
Brisbane still searching for their first goal of the last quarter.
Bailey Smith’s chip kick forward fails to hit a target, but Schache gathers the loose ball and snaps truly from a few metres out.
After kicking the last three goals of the game, the Bulldogs now lead by two points, 9.11.65 to 9.9.63.
This is going to go right down to the wire, you feel.
The momentum shifts have been numerous.
Macrae gets the all-important first goal of the final quarter inside the first minute, and all of a sudden it’s just a four-point ball game in favour of Brisbane, 9.9.63 to 8.11.59.
Macrae has been absolutely magnificent tonight with 34 disposals (16 contested), nine clearances, eight inside 50s, 636 metres gained, nine score involvements and a goal assist as well.
