The goal, early in the second quarter, finished off a fine team move and helped the Tigers claw back the lead from the Brisbane Lions.
Young Lion Patrick Karnezis also enjoyed a special moment, joining an exclusive list when he kicked a goal with his first kick in league footy.
Karnezis came on as a sub for Mitch Clark early in the third quarter and when Jonathan Brown handpassed to him, the teenager snapped truly with his left foot.
