Toby Greene found himself in hot water, Greater Western continued its domination over Carlton, and coach David Teague is in for another week under the blowtorch. agerealfooty

A week after failing to beat this year’s likely wooden-spooner, the Giants woke up from a third-quarter snooze in time to hold off the Blues and win by 36 points - 16.6 to 9.12 .The victory, the Giants eighth from their past nine games against the Blues, was marred by a brain explosion from Greene, who had his number taken for striking Nic Newman in the guts.

Greene’s goal after the quarter-time siren was the game’s highlight, the 67.6-metre torpedo from inside the centre square hitting the advertising board on the full.It was another dark night for the Blues, who, despite keeping the game alive until midway through the last term, were awful for much of the game.Advertisement

The Blues had few winners. They were well beaten in the midfield, and their defence was powerless to stop a red-hot Giants forward line. Harry McKay fired up in the second half with three goals but was starved of the ball when the Giants made their run.
