BRISBANE has bounced back from last week's 56-point loss to Melbourne with a 31-point win over Greater Western Sydney at Brighton Homes Arena on Saturday.
The Lions moved to 2-2 with the victory, but the GIANTS held their own in patches, with the scoreline ultimately belying the effort and endeavour with which the GIANTS played.
Alyce Parker was prominent for the GIANTS with 31 disposals, five clearances and 501 metres gained, while Bec Beeson was also busy with 25 disposals and seven clearances.
Teenage ruck Yasmeen Janschek battled admirably in the ruck, while cameos from Brodee Mowbray, Tilly Lucas-Rodd and Poppy Boltz against her former side helped the GIANTS put up a fight.
But ultimately, the Lions were a class above, with their run seemingly endless even though they struggled to hit targets by both foot and hand at stages.Â
Charlie Mullins and the irrepressible Dawes were the difference, with their effort and energy evident in the way they tackled and fired up after every positive act.
