Luke Jackson has produced one of the all-time finals performances to lead Fremantle to a stunning semifinal victory over a gallant Geelong.
With their season on the line the Dockers made a blistering start with Shai Bolton kicking two goals in the first 90 seconds to bury their Demons of the slow start the week before.
But despite getting out to a 30-point lead, the Cats hit the front after an incredible third quarter before Jackson took over.
Relive all the action!

Serong with the sealer?
Rushed kick out of Cats defence and Serong takes the mark on 50 despite incoming pressure.
Takes the full 30 seconds and then launches from 50 and that might just about do it.
Cats need five goals in eight minutes.
Mannagh gives them one with a nice snap.
FRE 17.10 (112) GEE 14.10 (94)
Henry has five
McVee drops the intercept mark and it slips out the back as Henry snaps his fifth to give the Cats a pulse.
Still 10 minutes left but they need another four goals.
FRE 16.9 (105) GEE 13.10 (88)
Massive crowd
59,725 in the house. It’s biggest then their crowd last week which means it’s a new record hom crowd for the Dockers
Freddy with the first
Big win on the wing from Matthew Johnson and Frederick has seperation from his man to take a mark in the pocket.
Round the corner he makes no mistake and it’s a 24 point margin.
Massive ask for Geelong now
FRE 16.8 (104) GEE 12.8 (80)
Final quarter underway
The first goal here is going to be massive for both teams.
Oliver Henry presetns again to take another mark inside 50 but from the angle he sends it out on the full.
Fremantle nearly go end to end but Voss’ roller from the boundary is just touched by Cameron to rush it through.
FRE 15.7 (97) GEE 12.8 (80)
JACKSON AFTER THE SIREN
Mitch Edwards has had a horror five minutes as Jackson has absolutely towelled him up in the closes stages of this quarter.
He wins a free for high contact in the ruck and from 40m out kicks his second goal for the term to make it 16 points at the final break.
He’s had 29 hit-outs, seven clearances, 18 disposals and two goals as he’s tearing apart another final.
After a big fightback, has that taken the wind out of Geelong’s sails?
FRE 15.6 (96) 12.8 (80)
