HAWTHORN coach Alastair Clarkson slammed his own brand of football last week, but Greater Western Sydney coach Leon Cameron must have loved it.

GIANTS ON TARGET Full match coverage and stats

Sunday night’s clash at GIANTS Stadium was a tactical arm wrestle early as GWS smashed the Hawks at their own kick-mark game, taking 62 more marks to set the foundations for a 34-point victory.

After losing both 2019 games to the Hawks by a combined margin of 89 points, Cameron put on a masterclass against his former mentor.

The GIANTS switched back to an electric brand in the third term and piled on six quick goals before marching to the 13.5 (83) to 7.7 (49) win.

GWS forwards Harry Himmelberg and Jeremy Finlayson were the dominant duo, kicking eight goals between them.

Josh Kelly (30 disposals) Harry Perryman (28 disposals) and Nick Haynes (21 disposals) were crucial in controlling the flow of the game.

Jack Gunston (three goals) was the focal point up forward for Hawthorn and helped give his side a sniff with two third-quarter goals.

The Giants now move into the top eight, snaring their second win on the trot.
