Geelong have beaten Hawthorn by two points in a pulsating AFL qualifying final at the MCG.
Hawthorn’s Isaac Smith had a shot on goal after Friday night’s final siren, but it missed for a behind and the Cats won 12.13 (85) to 12.11 (83).
The Cats are into a preliminary final, while Hawthorn will meet the Western Bulldogs in a sudden-death semi-final next Friday night or Saturday afternoon.
