The Giants led by a game-high 33 points early in the final term on Saturday, but had to withstand a stirring late challenge by the Pies, who kicked the last four goals of the match only to fall agonisingly short - 8.8 (56) to 7.10 (52).If the Magpies had managed to fall over the line, it would have been a controversial win after Josh Thomas was awarded a goal in the last quarter that appeared to be touched off the boot.Thomas’ next goal with seven minutes to go in the game sliced the margin to six points and set up a frantic finale with the ball camped out in the Magpies’ front half.But Nathan Buckley’s men could find a way past the brave Giants, who hung on for the most famous win the club’s eight-season history.The vast majority of the 77,828 fans in attendance wore black and white and they left the MCG with broken hearts for the second time in two years, following on from last year’s grand final defeat to West Coast.Star players Toby Greene (suspension) and Lachie Whitfield (appendicitis) were ripped from Leon Cameron’s line-up in the week leading up to the clash, and co-captain Phil Davis (calf) was hobbled early.But the Giants were simply tougher in the clinches, winning more than their share of ground balls and dominating the territory game in the first three quarters.The Pies had been desperately disappointing for the most part, but somehow sprang to life after the last change.They attacked in waves in a way that they hadn’t managed for most of the match, Brodie Grundy leading he way with an incredible 73 hitouts.Nick Haynes was superb across half-back with 30 possessions and nine marks, Zac Williams gathered 25 touches with 10 clearances and a goal.Josh Kelly (27 possessions) and Tim Taranto (26) also made important contributions.Master tagger Matt De Boer went to Scott Pendlebury and kept the Pies skipper to 18 possessions.A NOTE ABOUT RELEVANT ADVERTISING: We collect information about the content (including ads) you use across this site and use it to make both advertising and content more relevant to you on our network and other sites.

His intercept work down back was phenomenal, with Haynes ending with a game-high 30 touches and nine marks. Hill was always going to be under pressure to keep his spot, with the forward replacing Toby Greene. It was another quiet outing for Himmelberg, with the forward going goalless for the game. A shoulder concern also kept him on the bench at times, with the captain moved forward for the entire second-half. The hybrid forward booted two goals, but was hardly sighted in the last term. There were plenty of question marks over his inclusion, but his versatility came in handy with Davis injured. Sam Jacobs can’t come quick enough, with Mumford thumped by All-Australian Brodie Grundy. Can he stop Dusty on the MCG next weekend? Kennedy did his job in the trenches, showing courage and fight when required. A player who was in the mix as an All-Australian defender, as Williams racked up the disposals exceptionally well. Taylor took a number of crucial intercept marks during the wet contest at the MCG. This is also known as Online Behavioural Advertising.
It would be a fitting way to end his career with a premiership medal around his neck.
