In the end it was an eight-goal-to-zero fourth quarter by the Burras that proved the difference against the Giants, who led by two-points at the final change and looked a good chance of taking home the win.

The Giants fought gallantly all day, but in the end the 2019 premiers' class shone through, running over the top of their opponents in the final term.

Coach John Delahunty back playing his first game from injury was extremely happy with the result.

"Wins like that, they're the feelings that you love about football," he said.

"It was another tough old Burras' Giants' game.

"We managed to break it open in that last quarter."

Asked what changed from his side between the three quarter time break and the start of the fourth quarter, Delahunty said he wasn't quite sure.

"We just changed the personnel a bit," he said.

"They were beating us in the middle that's for sure and enough in that last quarter. We just needed to handle the footy cleaner and we got in some guys that we knew could do that. One of our strengths is just the flexibility."

Delahunty was full of praise for his players as well as the opposition who he said "brought the pressure".

Special mention went to Oscar Gawith who in his first senior game at just sixteen-years-old kicked a goal and "didn't put a foot wrong".

"That goal he kicked through the middle was one for the highlights reels," Delahunty said.

For the Giants Nicholas Dinham was lethal in front of the sticks kicking four goals while Tyler Lehmann was named as their best player.
