Cam Rayner has another one

By Kyle Pollard

The comeback is not on. I repeat - the comeback is not on.

But Cam Rayner has his third and that would be nice for him.

Logan Morris kicks a goal to start the fourth

K

By Kyle Pollard

And that ends the run.

Would it be unfair to say the Lions needed that?

3QT: GWS Giants 23.7 (145) leads Brisbane Lions 8.8 (56)

K

By Kyle Pollard

We have a new record for the highest scoring third quarter in VFL/AFL history.

Their 14.4 (86) overtakes Essendon's 13.4 (82) from 1982, while the score is the equal-fourth highest quarter in history, matching Adelaide in 1996 against Fitzroy.

For what it's worth, the record is 17.4 (106), set in 1919.

The Lions just had no answers. It was electric, it was clinical, it was brutal.

Toby Greene kicked his fifth goal, Jake Stringer kicked his fourth, Brent Daniels was fantastic, Aaron Cadman was workman like, Toby Bedford was slick.

I'm not sure I've seen anything like it.

That was special.

IT'S 14 STRAIGHT! RECORD IS ON!

By Kyle Pollard

I can feel the search term "highest quarter score in AFL history" trending deep in my soul.

Let me add to the trend ...

They've scored 86 points, which makes this the equal-fourth highest quarter in history!

Thirteen ... THIRTEEEEEN!

K

By Kyle Pollard

Toby Greene has his fifth of the game! It's a floating, ugly ball but it somehow goes through and absolutely nothing can go wrong for GWS at the moment.

THERE'S THE DOZEN!

K

By Kyle Pollard

Surely it's time for the Giants to declare and send the Lions in, because this is getting out of hand.

Toby Greene is taken high and wins the free kick. He snaps, he goals, and the Giants lead by 78 points.

It's 11 goals in a row for the Giants

K

By Kyle Pollard

Just to be clear, this is comfortably GWS's highest scoring quarter in history and there's still five minutes left.

Brent Daniels gets reward for an exceptional quarter as he waltzes into goal.

This is one of the great performances.

IT'S PARTY TIME FOR THE GIANTS

K

By Kyle Pollard

I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE CAPS LOCK BUT IT'S REQUIRED.

Harvey Thomas pulls out some incredible soccer skills along the boundary line to keep the ball in front of him, collects the ball, gets it to Toby Greene, who spears it into Jake Stringer in the pocket.

Stringer collects, snaps, and snaps truly ... one of the team goals of the year!

IT'S NINE IN A ROW

K

By Kyle Pollard

It's a ball up at the top of the goalsquare, and Toby Greene swoops on the lose pill and snaps another major!

This is a disaster for the Brisbane Lions.

The Giants have had 40 more disposals this quarter.

Gruzewski has his third

K

By Kyle Pollard

That's eight in a row.

The Lions have zero answers.

Do the Lions need to win?

K

By Kyle Pollard

Stupid to say this early in the season, but do the Lions need to win this? Like, there are some questions about their defence, would a defeat here really dent their hopes?

- Roar

I'll be clear, this question came before the onslaught. I'd say of all teams, the Lions are the ones who have proven time and again that you just need to make the finals to be a chance, particularly with the wildcard round now.

But they've played concerning football two weeks in a row now, and the loss of Oscar Allen up forward has left them toothless in the air.

Major worries for the Lions.

Seven ... SEVEN ... goals in a row for the Giants

K

By Kyle Pollard

It's forward pressure again and it's Cadman again, who wins the holding the ball decision in the forward pocket and snaps truly.

SEVEN goals in a row. It feels like the Lions have barely had seven kicks this quarter. This is insanity!

Greene has another one!

K

By Kyle Pollard

The forward pressure is off the chain and Jake Stringer catches Harris Andrews, forcing the pill to spill out. Toby Greene swoops and snaps another major!

Oh stop it! It's another goal!

K

By Kyle Pollard

Cadman is involved again at ground level but it's Gothard who executes a lovely little soccer kick to himself, picks up the pill, and snaps truly!

The Lions have barely touched the ball this quarter and the Giants have five goals after five minutes!

The Giants have goaled again!!!

K

By Kyle Pollard

It's four goals in four minutes and this time it's Brent Daniels, who has had a massive start to this quarter, he's been in everything.

The lead is suddenly 30 points!

Cadman kicks another one!

K

By Kyle Pollard

What a start by the Giants! Cadman wins the incorrect disposal free kick against Lachie Neale, and converts truly.

Cadman's another one of those players who has had a bit of a nearly day. He's been in everything and now finally gets reward.

Two in a row for GWS!

K

By Kyle Pollard

Electric stuff from GWS! Finn Callaghan gets the releasing handball at halfback that opens the play up, concluding in Jake Stringer getting onto a wide open forward lead.

He converts truly from about 40m out directly in front. They're three goals in front and that feels like it might as well be 40 points in this game.

Giants on the board after 20 seconds!

K

By Kyle Pollard

We're back underway in Sydney and the Giants are straight out of the middle and straight on the board!

Gothard has had a few missed chances this game but this one he nails, snapping off the right truly! Huge start for GWS!
