With St Kilda and the Western Bulldogs set to face off in the NAB Cup grand final this weekend, now is as good a time as ever to look back on their epic preliminary final contest last year.

The match to decide who went through to the grand final had everything.

When Brian Lake lined up on Nick Riewoldt, arguably the game’s best key defender lined up on the game’s best key forward.

In the end, the match-up lived up to the hype, with a controversial free kick against Lake to Riewoldt setting the scene for a massive second half, the culmination of which came in those frantic final minutes, where Riewoldt was again in the thick of it.

For those who’ve forgotten, or simply missed it, here is that heart-breaking (for Bulldog fans, at least) climax once more.
