Will the Giants magnificent road run end here with their biggest task in the Minor Premiers. Nick Daicos back in for Collingwood, Adams out though. McStay gets the opener for the Pies, their pressure high as expected. The Giants goalless in the opening term, the margin just 11 though. The Giants hit the lead in the 2nd, Coniglio does not waste the footy. Everyone shocked that Daicos missed. It's now the Pies who are goalless, with the top defenses at work, the Giants lead by 10 at the half. Toby gets a good goal early in the 3rd and Hogan giving good representation once again. Collingwood hits the lead back though, the Giants simply cannot tackle Jordan De Goey. Toby can't get a free ever... taken around the neck clear for everyone to see, the Pies take a 4-point lead into the last term. Cox's presence impactful, Quaynor getting away with holding Daniels. It's 1 point the difference late, in a tense game. The umpires aren't forcing Collingwood to get the ball out, with consecutive ball-ups and they hold on by that margin, to advance to the Grand Final. The Pies dominated the hit-outs and the clearances +18, the Giants with more of the footy. Collingwood with 4 more inside 50's, for 2 more scoring shots. De Goey best afield, with 34 disposals, 13 clearances, 5 inside 50's and 463 metres gained. Sidebottom 24 disposals, 7 clearances, 6 intercepts and 537 metres gained. Cox 2 contested marks, 27 hit-outs and a goal. For the Giants, Taylor 16 disposals, 2 contested marks, 6 tackles and 13 intercepts. Kelly 34 disposals, 8 inside 50's, 11 intercepts and 607 metres gained.
