TOBY Greene and his fellow Greater Western Sydney forwards have ridden the Orange Tsunami to a 28-point win over St Kilda in their clash at Norwood Oval.
After three straight wins and plenty of promising signs, the Saints winning streak was brought to an end in Gather Round.
While they counter-punched with the only four goals of the final term, the damage had been done and GWS won 16.14 (110) to 12.10 (82).
Greene led the way with five goals in a best-afield performance and Jake Stringer, in his third game for the Giants, kicked his first two goals for the club.
In 30-degree-plus conditions on Sunday afternoon, the Giants were red-hot from midway through the first quarter and shut St Kilda out of the game.
Lachie Ash and Lachie Whitfield gave GWS ample drive off half-back, unleashing their trademark tsunami.
GWS kicked eight goals in the third term - their most prolific quarter of the year so far - to confirm the result with a 50-point break at the last change.
Saints defender Callum Wilkie worked hard all day on GWS key forward Jesse Hogan, who starred with nine goals last week.
Wilkie restricted Hogan to two majors, an impressive effort given the supply the Giants forwards had through the middle of the game.
Saints speedster Nasiah Wanganeen-Milera had his first multiple-goal game, with three, and was a feature of his side's final-term surge.
