Geelong have booked an AFL preliminary final berth in stunning fashion, Hawthorn winger Isaac Smith missing a set-shot after the siren to leave the Cats winners by two points at the MCG.?The Hawks won six games by less than 10 points this season but they couldnt make it seven after Smith pushed his shot from 40m on a slight angle to the right, leaving Geelong players celebrating a 12.13 (85) to 12.11 (83) win in front of 87,533 fans.Hawthorn held a slender lead for most of Friday nights final term but the Cats - led superbly by Patrick Dangerfield and Joel Selwood - took back the lead through Josh Caddy with just over four minutes to play.The latest chapter in one of the fiercest rivalries of the past decade was typically hard fought, with flashes of brilliance, plenty of niggle and, of course, it was close all the way.Cyril Rioli and Paul Puopolo delivered individual highlights with trademark towering marks, while Luke Hodge, Sam Mitchell and the Selwood brothers were never far away when tempers boiled over.Scott Selwood applied a hard tag on Mitchell in one of the most-absorbing duels of the evening, with the Hawks playmaker taking the honours with 30 disposals.The Cats led by seven points at the first break, the Hawks by the same margin at halftime before Chris Scotts side edged back in front by two points at three-quarter time to set up the stunning finale.If Hawthorn are to win a historic fourth flag in a row, theyll have to do it the hard way. They face the Western Bulldogs in a semi-final next weekend, while the Cats have a week off to prepare for their preliminary final. The Hawks suffered injury blows when they lost James Sicily to illness before the game and Ryan Burton to a calf injury in the second quarter. Scott admitted he felt the game had slipped from Geelongs grasp when Smith marked the ball inside the attacking 50 as time ran out. Thats almost as good as footy gets isnt it? he said. I feel for Isaac.?Its a horrible situation to be in. Off the boot he probably thought it looked pretty good as well ... in the moment youre not commiserating with them, but I certainly do feel for them.The game was just typical of a final. It was a real contrast of styles, but still really fierce, and it was just the team that could take the moment when it really counted that was going to prevail.Hawks coach Alastair Clarkson said his players would quickly shake off the disappointment of the last-gasp defeat. I said to the players that if youre going to lose a final this is the one to lose (because) all the rest of them dont give you a second chance, Clarkson said. We went down this path last year and well have to go down it again. Its disappointing but we had our chances throughout the course of the night and so did the Cats. It comes down to the last kick and it could quite easily have been us victorious and them licking their wounds.2ND AFL QUALIFYING FINAL - GEELONG v HAWTHORNResult: Geelong 12.13 (85) bt Hawthorn 12.11 (83) at the MCGKey moment: Hawthorns Isaac Smith marks about 40m from goal and the final siren sounds.

Authentic Kolton Miller Jersey .C. -- Manny Malhotra had two goals and an assist, leading the Carolina Hurricanes to a 6-3 win over the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. At halftime of an eventual Monday night loss to the Indianapolis Colts, New York Jets quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick was pulled following a disappointing 5-for-12 showing that included just 81 passing yards and his 14th interception of the season -- tied for the second most of any QB so far this year. Fitzpatricks 24.6 Total QBR?against the Colts was his second-worst performance of the season (only his 5.5 against the Chiefs in Week 3 is worse), and also the second-worst of his two-season tenure with the Jets.Fitzpatrick has struggled all season and now has been replaced as the starting quarterback twice this season (the first time came after Week 6 when Geno Smith took over, before Smiths injury early in Week 7 necessitated a Fitzpatrick return). All this on the heels of a career year in 2015. What has happened to turn Fitz from the unquestioned starter on a 10-6 team to a twice-benched journeyman who will probably end up on his seventh team in 13 seasons next year?InterceptionsThe most noticeable issue facing Fitzpatrick is his poor interception rate. It isnt so much that the volume of interceptions is off the charts, but when you factor in his low number of attempts compared to QBs who have thrown a similar number of picks, his rate is downright alarming. In a season that is on pace to have the lowest percentage of passes intercepted in league history (2.1 percent, which would break the previous record set last season at 2.4 percent), Fitzpatrick has had 4.1 percent of his attempts picked this season, by far the highest rate of any qualified QB this season (the next--closest is the also-benched Case Keenum at 3.dddddddddddd5 percent). This has occurred after back-to-back seasons in which Fitzpatrick he posted near-career-low interception rates of 2.7 percent in 2015 and 2.6 percent in 2014.This year the interceptions have also been especially costly in terms of expected points added. As we have mentioned in the past, not all interceptions are created equal. A deep interception on a third-and-long isnt as damaging as an interception on an early down near the goal line. If we take a look at the quarterbacks portion of the EPA lost on their interceptions, nobody has been more damaging in aggregate than Fitzpatrick.Fitzpatrick has thrown five interceptions in the red zone this season; no other quarterback has thrown more than two. The five red-zone picks are tied for the second-most a QB has thrown in a season since 2001, behind only Jay Cutlers six in 2009. Last season, Fitzpatrick threw only one red-zone pick.Pressure problemsAnother area where Fitzpatrick is down big from 2015 is his performance while pressured. Last year he compiled a 71.5 raw QBR while pressured, the second-best mark in the league (the NFL average last season was 28.9 while pressured), but this season he has a 12.2 raw QBR while pressured, 29th out of 31 qualified quarterbacks.?(The league average is 34.7 this season.)A look at Fitzpatricks week-by-week QBR numbers in 2016:For more from ESPN Analytics, visit the ESPN Analytics Index.?
