The GWS Giants have defeated the Brisbane Lions by 34 points tonight at Spotless Stadium. 

GWS never trailed at any stage on Saturday night but neither did it look like tearing apart the winless Lions, and the home team recorded a 10.17 (77) to 5.13 (43) victory at Spotless Stadium.

Brisbane couldn't get anything going offensively in the first half, kicking just 1.6.

The Lions enjoyed a 47-4 advantage in the hit-outs, with Stefan Martin dominating against makeshift ruckmen Jon Patton and Adam Tomlinson, but GWS largely controlled the game at ground level.

With goals from Zac Langdon, Jeremy Cameron and Deledio, GWS carved out a 17-point lead at the first break.

The Lions' first six shots were behinds and they didn't post a goal until 11 minutes into the second quarter when captain and leading possession-getter Dayne Beams landed a long-distance set shot after taking a courageous diving mark.

GWS hit back with majors to Daniel Lloyd, Adam Tomlinson and de Boer to lead by 33 points at half-time.

It took the Lions less than two minutes of the third quarter to kick a goal, but GWS kicked the next two majors to establish a match-high advantage of 39 points.

Brisbane booted the last two goals of the term, including a 60m-plus bomb from Eric Hipwood, to trail by 26 at the last change and couldn't reduce the deficit in the last quarter.

Lions coach Chris Fagan took plenty of positives out of the defeat but lamented his side's first-quarter inaccuracy. They kicked 0.5.

"Then they kicked three goals in red time in the second quarter, and there's the game," he said. 

"That seems to be all it takes with our emerging group. They just find little ways against good teams to lose." 

MEDICAL ROOM
Greater Western Sydney: First-year player Zac Langdon injured his right knee in the second term and played no further part in the clash, while Aidan Corr was taken to the rooms clutching his shoulder in the first quarter but returned to the field. 

Brisbane Lions: Jarrod Berry limped off with an ankle injury midway through the last quarter after a heavy tackle on the wing. Dayne Beams copped a head knock in the second term but did not appear to be affected.

The Giants have a six-day break ahead of a tough away clash against a rebounding Geelong on Friday night at GMHBA Stadium, while Brisbane return to the Gabba for a Sunday twilight match against Collingwood.
