GIANTS coach Adam Kingsley is daring to dream after his side recorded a 13-point win over Hawthorn on Saturday to put them right in the finals hunt.

The GIANTS only shook off a dogged Hawks outfit when Jesse Hogan goaled with less than two minutes remaining, but it was enough for Kingsley to declare "anything's possible" after the GIANTS improved to 8-8.

The goal was Hogan's fourth and a season-high for the spearhead who was the outstanding forward on the field, while Stephen Coniglio was superb throughout with 30 disposals and three goals in a hard-fought contest at GIANTS Stadium.

"I think anything's possible," Kingsley said of the GIANTS' aims for the rest of the season.

"We've got two months to play, we've got some really tough games. We need to be winning our away games, which we've been quite good at.

"So if we can do that, get our home games in the bank, who knows what's possible.”

Former GIANTS captain Coniglio continued his stirring return to form as Finn Maginness restricted last week's match-winner Josh Kelly to just six disposals for his lowest tally since 2015.

"I thought they did a great job on Josh," Kingsley said.

"But again, in circumstances such as that, we need other guys to step up and we're not relying on one or two players to win, that's important."
