Come for the rivalry, stay for the Nick Daicos masterclass.
It was the best individual quarter of the year and probably the best quarter of Daicos' career.
Thirteen touches, two goal assists, one goal, three centre clearances and two tackles to get the Pies home by five points after trailing by 18 at the last change.
Somehow that statsline still undersells his majesty in the last quarter.
It was the sort of individual monopoly usually reserved for NBA games - not on an AFL field where winning demands 23 contributions.
The juxtaposition between his skill in the last quarter and the overall standard of the first three terms was the sort of thing you'd expect to see if a former AFL player is forced to play local reserves footy.
At the last change, fans were left wishing the much talked about Friday night double header was instead on Thursday to give them another footy game to tune into, so ugly was the contest.
Daicos, who won the Richard Pratt Medal in the Peter Mac Cup game, ensured everyone got something for investing their time and he had cause for celebration after 100 games glittered with accolades - and littered with some near misses too.
We've outlined 10 of his best moments from a dazzling last quarter.

His seventh possession of the quarter came in just the fourth minute of playing time. Sam Walsh started on him at the stoppage just outside the Magpies' attacking 50, but he gave Daicos space as he hunted the ball.
With the Pies getting first hands on the footy, it streamed out to Daicos who looked to power through traffic and copped a high tackle from Carlton's Patrick Cripps.
The Carlton skipper attempted to stall him by slowly getting off him as the whistle was blown.
Sensing an opportunity with Carlton's defence scrambling, Daicos handballed to Jack Crisp while still laying on the ground.
Crisp found Lipinski by hand who kicked the go-ahead goal. It was the fourth goal of the term inside four minutes and Daicos, either directly or indirectly, had a hand in all of them.
