The Eagles have responded to a Geelong challenge, can they respond in a second?
After giving up a 25-point lead, the Cats return to a three-goal buffer for the final quarter and the West Coast will have to dig deeper for an annoying victory.
The visitors lead 255-247 eliminations, 94-84 disputed possessions, 43-40 innings, 30-25 dispatches, 41-2 interior 50s, 17-14 shots and 35-23 hits.
