Patrick Dangerfield Clinches Victory for Geelong with Late Goal in Thrilling Clash Against St Kilda
Geelong‘s captain Patrick Dangerfield displayed remarkable composure as he sealed a nail-biting victory for the Cats against St Kilda with a sensational late goal at GMHBA Stadium.
Dangerfield’s heroics came in the final minute of the match, with the Cats leading by a slim margin after St Kilda launched a fierce comeback with three quick goals.
Supported by Tanner Bruhn and Max Holmes, Dangerfield’s interception of a hurried St Kilda defensive clearance on the 50-meter line set the stage for his match-winning goal.
In front of a record-breaking crowd of 39,352 fans, Geelong secured the hard-fought 10.16 (76) to 9.14 (68) victory.
Jeremy Cameron showcased his brilliance with two stunning first-half goals, while young forward Ollie Dempsey was a standout with three goals and nine score involvements.
St Kilda, led by captain Jack Steele and Tim Membrey, fought valiantly but extended their winless streak in Geelong to 12 matches.
The Cats’ wasteful accuracy and St Kilda’s impressive late surge made for a thrilling encounter that kept fans on the edge of their seats.
Before kick-off, Geelong honored their former captain Joel Selwood with the official opening of the new Joel Selwood Stand at GMHBA Stadium.
