The Cats were dominate right across the board, and were clearly the superior side.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Then, the momentum switched in the second half. The GIANTS clicked into gear, then they became the more dominate side. The GIANTS then overpowered the Cats to take the win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">GWS win against the odds<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Not only did the GIANTS get the win tonight, but they did so without arguably three of their best midfielders, which makes the win even more remarkable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"43011\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/alyce-parker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Alyce Parker<\/a> and <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"34659\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/chloe-dalton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Chloe Dalton<\/a> were already missing the game, then <a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29837\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/rebecca-beeson\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Rebecca Beeson<\/a> was also a late out pre-game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A frustrating end to a frustrating season for Geelong<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Last night\u2019s game was a nice analogy to describe Geelong\u2019s entire season. The Cats were good early, but faded away late and lost a game they should have won.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This mirrors Geelong\u2019s season. After so much promise early, this season has not amounted to much and those in the Cats camp will no doubt come away from this season very frustrated with how it has transpired.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hopefully this isn\u2019t the last time we\u2019ve seen the magic of Cora Staunton<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a data-type=\"player\" data-id=\"29854\" class=\"_dc_spo\" href=\"\/afl\/player\/cora-staunton\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cora Staunton<\/a> was once again the star up forward for GWS, booting four goals and being very dangerous up forward.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>With all the talk of next season starting in August, combined with Staunton\u2019s age, means there is a chance this may have been her last outing in Giants colours. Though she has not said anything to indicate she will not be back next season, but GIANTS and AFLW fans alike will certainly be hoping this is not the last time they have seen Staunton.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-dc-block-dc-mention _dc_mention\"><div class=\"section-heading_wrap\"><span class=\"section-heading is-small\">Mentions<\/span><span class=\"hor-border\"><\/span><\/div><ul class=\"js-overflow-list overflow-list\"><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_t\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/team\/gws-giants-womens\/\">GWS GIANTS<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_t\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/team\/geelong-cats-aflw\/\">Geelong<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/georgia-garnett\/\">Georgia Garnett<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/jessica-doyle\/\">Jessica Doyle<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/georgie-prespakis\/\">Georgie Prespakis<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/amy-mcdonald\/\">Amy McDonald<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/chloe-scheer\/\">Chloe Scheer<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/alyce-parker\/\">Alyce Parker<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/chloe-dalton\/\">Chloe Dalton<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/rebecca-beeson\/\">Rebecca Beeson<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_p\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/player\/cora-staunton\/\">Cora Staunton<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"object-mention_single\"><div class=\"tag tag--is-clickable\"><a class=\"tag-text _dc_mention_e\" href=\"https:\/\/central.rookieme.com\/afl\/event\/geelong-vs-giants\/\">Geelong vs GIANTS<\/a><\/div><\/li><li class=\"js-dropdown dropdown overflowed\"><button class=\"btn btn-icon-only\"><span class=\"icon btn-icon\">\n                    <!-- icon - plus circle - 20px-->\n                    <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 20 20\">\n                        <path d=\"M15,9.28h-4.3V5h0A.72.72,0,1,0,9.28,5h0V9.28H5a.72.72,0,0,0,0,1.43H9.28V15a.72.72,0,0,0,1.43,0h0V10.71H15a.72.72,0,0,0,0-1.43Z\"\/>\n                        <path d=\"M10,0A10,10,0,1,0,20,10,10,10,0,0,0,10,0Zm0,18.57A8.57,8.57,0,0,1,10,1.43h0a8.57,8.57,0,0,1,0,17.14Z\"\/>\n                    <\/svg>\n                <\/span><\/button><div class=\"popover\"><div class=\"popover-content\"><ul class=\"popover-menu\"><\/ul><\/div><\/div><\/li><\/ul><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>GWS GIANTS prevailed over Geelong by 18 points in the last round of the AFL Women&#8217;s season, with the former sending off 2022 on a high.
