The GIANTS have further cemented their place inside the NEAFL top four, with a 10-point win over Redland at Jack Esplen Oval in Brisbane on Saturday.
While the GIANTS led from start to finish in the 13.13 (91) to 15.11 (101) victory, the Bombers pushed the GIANTS in the final term after trailing by 38 points at three quarter time.
Zac Langdon and Daniel Llyod were impressive while Jackson Hately found plenty of the football again as ruck-forward Matt Flynn had one of his best games for the season.
Langdon and Lloyd collected 28 disposals and kicked two goals each as Hately continued his strong form with 26 disposals.
Flynn kicked two goals and won 11 hitouts in a game that also saw him take seven marks and collect 17 disposals.
Meanwhile defender Connor Idun again featured strongly in the GIANTS backline that was without mainstays Lachie Keeffe (injury), Jake Stein (AFL) and Matt Buntine (AFL).
The first-year GIANT kicked his first goal for the club and finished the game with 13 disposals.
The win now sees the GIANTS sit in fourth on the NEAFL ladder behind the Swans only on percentage and two games clear of fifth-placed Aspley.
The GIANTS NEAFL side now has a bye before playing sixth placed Sydney University in round 13 at Henson Park on Friday, June 28 at 6:30pm.
