BRISBANE Lions put a turbulent week behind them with their biggest win of the season over Greater Western Sydney at the Gabba last night.
With former Fremantle mentor Mark Harvey taking over from the dumped Michael Voss as head coach, the Lions dominated the young Giants for a 18.15 (123) to 9.9 (63) victory.
| 5.5 (35) | Q1 | 1.1 (7) |
| 12.7 (79) | Q2 | 3.2 (20) |
| 16.12 (108) | Q3 | 4.4 (28) |
| 18.15 (123) | Q4 | 9.9 (63) |
| Sam Mayes 4 | Jeremy Cameron 2 |
| Joshua Green 3 | Stephen Coniglio 1 |
| Brent Staker 3 | Jonathan Giles 1 |
| Daniel Merrett 2 | Toby Greene 1 |
| Daniel Rich 2 | Tom Scully 1 |
| Dayne Zorko 2 | Mark Whiley 1 |
| Pearce Hanley 1 | Lachie Whitfield 1 |
| Ashley McGrath 1 | Zachary Williams 1 |
Voss's controversial mid-week axing was met with one of the lowest home crowds at the Gabba with only 13,855 fans turning out to watch the lop-sided affair.
Interim senior coach Mark Harvey said "it was different and a little strange" being at the helm of the Lions.
"It's been a difficult week in many ways," Harvey said.
"But we were happy with the way we pressured a young side.
"For most of the game, we controlled the tempo."
Playing his first game in seven weeks after overcoming a groin strain, 34-year-old veteran Simon Black again showed his class with 28 disposals against the outclassed GWS midfield.
At the other end of age scale, Brisbane teenager Sam Mayes who shone most in the drizzle with four first-half goals and 21 possessions from the wing.
The 60-point margin was almost double the 12th-placed Lions' previous biggest victory this season.
The Giants' heavy flooding tactics early backfired as they struggled for possession and opportunity and they ended up being eclipsed 67-41 for inside 50s and had 102 less disposals.
While there were few highlights for the Giants, they showed plenty of heart in the final term, kicking five goals to two after trailing by 80 at the last change.
Jeremy Cameron was restricted to two goals from limited chances but his double sees him move into a three-way tie with West Coast's Josh Kennedy and Hawthorn's Jarryd Roughhead for the Coleman Medal.
In an act of unselfishness, Cameron gave up a certain goal when he handballed to Lachie Whitfield in the goalsquare late in the game.
The Giants best first-year player last year Toby Greene showed an encouraging return to form with a game-high 31 disposals.
Fellow youngster Stephen Coniglio had 28 disposals and kicked long for the opening goal of the game, but it was the Giants' only major of the term as Brisbane quickly took control.
The Lions were forced to sub out star Irishman Pearce Hanley with a hip flexor injury which the club said will require scans in the coming days.
