An undermanned West Coast has suffered an 81-point loss to Greater Western Sydney as Jesse Hogan bagged an equal career-high nine goals in a ruthless performance at Engie Stadium.
The Giants took barely two minutes to boot the first goal from Darcy Jones then blew the game open with four majors in five minutes early in the second term on the way to a 20.12 (132) to 7.9 (51) victory on Sunday afternoon.
The Eagles offered some resistance in the third stanza, which they lost by a point after Hogan kicked truly after the siren, but couldn't stop the landslide in the final quarter.
Debutant Sandy Brock tried hard to quell Hogan and had some impressive moments, but the silver service entries into the Giants' forward 50 were impossible to stop.
Harley Reid started in defence and had some stints on ball, finishing with 25 disposals in his best game of the season to date, while namesake Archer Reid competed strongly in attack and first-gamer Tom Gross kicked a superb running goal.
Liam Baker (24) battled hard even as the Giants midfield remained in command while co-captain Oscar Allen did his best to shut down intercept-marking machine Sam Taylor in a defensive forward role.
With the four points all but in the bag by the main break, the Giants forwards were soon lining up to hit the scoreboard with Hogan at the front of the queue.
The Giants spearhead was largely unstoppable in attack as he booted nine goals from as many kicks, only blotting his stats when later chasing a 10th major from a set shot that fell short when outside the 50m arc.
Hogan could have added another earlier in the final term when unselfishly dishing off a handball to set up Aaron Cadman for a major from the goalsquare.
While Hogan helped to ensure the Giants recorded their greatest winning margin over the Eagles, the goal rush was sparked from the early exchanges by the ever-dynamic Jones.
The Giants forward broke the lines and stretched the Eagles with his blistering pace and finished with two goals and 24 disposals in another eye-catching display.
Midfielder Tom Green also booted two goals and gathered a game-high 37 disposals, while Giants captain Toby Greene finished with three majors though will be sweating on a review of a collision with Eagles forward Matt Owies.
Lachie Whitfield (35 disposals) and Lachie Ash (31) set up the 'Orange Tsunami' from defence, while Harry Himmelberg (25) was just as critical to keep the Eagles forwards out of the game.
The Eagles remain winless heading into Gather Round against Carlton, who are also yet to claim victory after four matches this season.
