7 goals is an equal career high for Jesse! Previously 7 against Saints in 2016.

Too slow..8 goals, the second most goals in our history. Only Cameron with 9 goals has scored more. Jesse is a super hero!!

Meanwhile, in a Galaxy not so far, far away .............
The best and most complete victory I’ve ever seen by the club and a tribute to the new coaching team that have got us playing wonderful footy.
Well done, it’s a pleasure to support this spirited and gifted footy team

Did not see that coming and Bombers did not turn up so must be already thinking of overseas holidays in the off season. Draper no effect and Stringer underdone but BZT no match for Hogan and the domination around the contested ball and credit to Kingsley for firing up the team with 7,6,6 and then 5 goals in the last quarter
No injuries and Taylor rested up for next week where the defence will be need to be switched on

Oh that was impressive!
Can't remember a Giants game like it where they smashed the spirit out of the opposition.
The general consensus in the area I sit was, "KEEP GOING".
And they did.
Was listening to Tadhg Kennelly on ABC Radio and he thought the 2 Essendon rucks would target Briggs and 'rough him up", so I wasn't alone in that thinking. But Briggs smashed them, winning the hit outs (with the occasional assistance of Keefe).
Finally a game where the Giants were dominant in clearances.
Yes, there were some errors, but today is not the day to criticise.
Savour this game.
They don't happen often.

Good luck with your push to the finals.
