Overview

  • The Giants trailed by as much as 29 points in the second quarter before overpowering Gold Coast to win 16.10 (106) to 14.15 (99) at Engie Stadium.
  • Super-sub Jake Stringer returned from injury to kick two critical goals and Aaron Cadman added three majors in a four-goal burst early in the final term.
  • Tom Green (30 disposals, 16 clearances) and Finn Callaghan (28 disposals) turned the midfield contest in GWS’s favour after the Suns dominated early stoppages.
  • The victory moves Greater Western Sydney to seventh (9–6) ahead of a mid-season bye while Gold Coast falls to ninth (8–5) after what coach Damien Hardwick called a failure to match finals-type intensity.
  • Coach Adam Kingsley praised his side’s resilience under pressure, highlighting Stringer’s decision-making and Cadman’s contested work as decisive factors.
