GWS Giants forwards run wild in thumping win over reigning premiers Collingwood

Greater Western Sydney have gone some way to avenging last year’s preliminary final defeat to Collingwood by inflicting one of the worst losses of Pies coach Craig McRae’s career. After a tight first quarter and a half, the Giants kicked away just before half-time and then piled on the only four goals in a dominant third quarter to set up the comfortable 32-point victory.

Midfield trio Tom Green, Lachie Whitfield and Josh Kelly had the better of Collingwood’s midfield, while the defence kept the Pies’ forwards in check. The performance left former Collingwood and Carlton star Dale Thomas in no doubt the Giants will be among the contenders this year. “From what we’ve seen tonight, this is a team that is certainly going to be contending,” Thomas said on Channel 7.
