A controversial free kick and 50m penalty has gifted Geelong another remarkable comeback victory at Etihad Stadium today.

THE Scott brothers want the Etihad Stadium roof shut for all AFL games after sun, then rain, affected their four-point heart-stopper.
North Melbourne coach Brad Scott was so angered by the open roof he approached the AFL's match-day official after the siren.
Geelong coach Chris Scott was also scathing about the conditions at the ground, which was drenched in blinding sunshine before the rain came.
Brad Scott said the roof being open had no bearing on the result, with the Kangaroos losing after leading by as many as 41 points.
"It's embarrassing for the competition when it's raining at an indoor stadium," he said.
Kangaroos midfielder Daniel Wells fell foul of both weather conditions - he dropped a mark on the wing after appearing to lose the ball in the sun and later slipped in the wet.
"It is laughable," Brad Scott said.
"There's a policy that when the sun's shining the roof's open, but no one likes it. The fans don't like it, the broadcasters hate it, players hate it. Close it. It's not that hard.
"I just do not understand why we don't close the roof.
"I asked the question of the ground manager after the game and he said 'well, we looked at the forecast and the forecast said it wasn't going to rain'.
"I said 'I'm not too sure how long you've been living in Melbourne'."
Chris Scott said the roof should be closed all the time.
"The only knock I have on this stadium, besides the surface occasionally, is that when the sun's shining, the players can't see," he said.
"Close the roof and then if it does rain you'll be covered ... I'm sure you've all sat in the stands on a hot sunny day - it's an uncomfortable place when the roof's open.
"There might be a really good reason for keeping it open, but I haven't heard it.
"I think the AFL's pretty fluid in their thinking, I don't think they're locked into anything necessarily."
