An undermanned GIANTS side broke through for their first win in the club’s history over the Eagles.
In a pulsating affair that saw the lead change eight times in the last quarter, two moments of magic from Toby Greene sealed the GIANTS an eight-point win.
Last season the two teams faced off at Spotless Stadium for the first time, with a Nic Naitanui goal in the dying seconds seeing the Eagles claim a thrilling one-point win.
Round 23 v Geelong at Simonds Stadium
The GIANTS will travel to Geelong to take on the Cats at Simonds Stadium in search of their first win at the venue in the final round of the season.
In the first of two clashes last season between the sides, the GIANTS claimed their maiden victory over the Cats with a 13-point win in round two at Manuka Oval.
Patrick Dangerfield and Joel Selwood helped Geelong exact revenge in round 11, claiming a hard fought 10-point win.
