Melbourne are through to the AFLW preliminary finals after producing the greatest comeback in competition history to defeat Geelong by four points on Saturday.
The Demons trailed by 28 points in the third quarter but kicked the final five goals of the match, including the only three in the final term to seal the stunning 8.8 (56) to 8.4 (32) victory.
Geelong star Chloe Scheer had the chance to win the match with a set shot from 20m out directly in front, but normally reliable goalkicker sliced her effort wide with under 15 seconds remaining.
While Scheer will be left ruing what might have been, Melbourne veteran Paxy Paxman will go down as the hero with her point-blank snap with under three minutes remaining the match-winner.
