GEELONG survived a final-quarter surge from Werribee to book a place in Sunday's VFL grand final.
In a nail-biting finish at North Port Oval yesterday, the Cats held firm in the final minute to clinch a five-point victory, 16.12 (108) to 15.13 (103), and a crack at Port Melbourne.
A relieved Geelong coach Matthew Knights admitted his team almost ran out of legs after leading by eight goals in the second term.
"Full credit to Werribee for coming back so hard when I thought we held them at bay for three quarters with good quality football, but they clearly won the last quarter," Knights said.
The Borough booked their place in the grand final with a solid win over Williamstown on Saturday and Knights is well aware of the opposition's quality.
"Obviously their record speaks for itself," Knights said.
