But the Cats responded with three majors of their own in as many minutes and from there they never surrendered the lead.

The electrifying contest lived up to expectations with both sides eager to cement their place in the top four – the Cats now one game clear in third.

Brownlow medallist Patrick Dangerfield made a successful return from injury and picked up 18 disposals on the night.

Mercurial Power youngster Connor Rozee finished with five majors, four of those coming in the first quarter.
