Giants beat Saints 15.11 (101) to 11.11 (77)Brisbane beat Port Adelaide 19.9 (123) to 11.9 (75)
GWS stormed into an AFL semi-final, just 12 months after finishing 16th, with a classy 24-point win over St Kilda at the MCG. The Giants booted eight straight goals from midway through the first quarter to late in the second term to blow Saturday’s elimination final wide open.
St Kilda twice managed to come back from more than 40 points down, even cutting the margin to just 19 points early in the last term. But GWS’s early lead was too much for the Saints to overcome as the Giants ran out winners 15.11 (101) to 11.11 (77) in rookie coach Adam Kingsley’s first final in charge.
