Magpies do it!
It would be hard to believe if you didn't see it. Collingwood came from 54 points down to win by a single point.
Zac Fisher had a shot to win the game for North with three seconds left on the clock, but it went just short.
Collingwood defeated North Melbourne 18.11 (119) to 19.4 (118).
Goals from Bobby Hill… Magpies in front
Bobby Hill has five, and that might have been the biggest of the day. Magpies in front… three minutes left.
And it came from a big mistake from North Melbourne. Zac Fisher's throw landed between two Magpies, resulting in a turnover and a very costly Collingwood goal.
Magpies for 2.
Now Roos is back in front
For Peter Ryan
Oh, the drama!
Brynn Teakle joined the Kangaroos in the mid-season draft. Now he has put North Melbourne back in front to snap a seven-goal unanswered run. Marvel Stadium is on the move.

Howe good: Cakes in front
The Magpies have hit the front and the crowd are back dancing.
If you're a lip reader, you'd probably have caught a few of Clarkson's discards in the coaches' box.
The latest big in Jeremy Howe's boot. And you won't believe this, but this goal was created, again, by Nick Daicos.

Daicos changing this game
For Peter Ryan
Nick Daicos is destroying Liam Shiels after Phillips leaves and the margin is now just one goal after the margin was at one point 54 points.
There are still eight minutes left.
Now there is only one goal
It's hard to believe that the roof of Marvel Stadium hasn't blown off yet. This environment is off the chain.
Bobby Hill closed the gap to just one shot in a row with his fourth goal of the day. It all started with a remarkable bicycle kick by Nick Daicos at half-back, who was held from behind and knocked to the ground.
Daicos was involved again, running the ball straight down the gut as Alastair Clarkson sweated in the coaches' box.

The magpies are starting to emerge
Uh oh, North Melbourne fans. Here come the Claws.
Now they have scored three goals in quick succession to reduce the margin to within a goal.
Beau McCreery's latest.
There is still a long way to go with 13 minutes on the clock.
From Peter Ryan at Marvel:
The surge is underway and everyone in the venue knows it. Five goals bring the margin back to 13 points.
Roses at 1 p.m.
Hill gets his third
Bobby Hill took on Tristan Xerri and Darcy Cameron in the ruckman battle to hold onto Collingwood's forward half, then kicked another goal for the Pies.
Now it's four kicks away. Collingwood closing in, will North hang on?
Roses at 7 p.m.
Cakes get the first of the last
Magpie Harvey Harrison scored the first goal of the fourth quarter after a hard-fought opening five minutes. You'd be biting your nails if you're a Roos fan, despite being five goals up.
Liam Shiels has now gone to tag Nick Daicos as Will Phillips replaces in a surprise move unless Phillips is injured. Jaidyn Stephenson is in the game.
This from Peter Ryan at Marvel:
The Collingwood chant begins as Magpie fans begin to dream of a 25-point margin after three consecutive Collingwood goals.
Roses at 25.
Last quarter, let's go
Here we go, fourth quarter.
You'd expect both North and Collingwood fans to be pretty nervous right now.
The Roos have a significant lead, but we're talking about the Magpies, the fourth-quarter specialists.
