1. Cats hard to beat asย Rohan seals it

As Joel Selwood called his team in for the last minute chat pre-game a โ€œmatch factโ€ appeared on the screen that said Cats have won 31 of their last 23 games at home.

Now we donโ€™t always get everything right at Useless AFL Stats, but even we know someone stuffed that stat up. Luckily for the Dogs they probably didnโ€™t know what unsurmountable odds they were facing as they had the game all but won.

The Gary Rohan kick to secure the win became the 53rd time a game has been won with a goal after the siren, and Rohan joined Barry Hall as players to have done it twice - interestingly both did it with two different teams.

Hall firstly with St Kilda and then Sydney, whilst Rohan kicked his first for Sydney in 2017 against Essendon albeit a lot easier one from just a metre out. Both of Rohanโ€™s goals also came in Round 14.

Had Rohan kicked a behind, he would have created history another way and joined Tom Hawkins as the other players to have a kicked a goal after the siren to win and a behind to draw. Hawkins can now hold that record alone for a while longer now.
