SCORE GOAL - Giants (Jonathan Giles)
05:57
GOAL GIANTS - Giles in traffic steps around his man and off a step kicks a goal, he dropped that ball to his boot and curled it through with a wicked 'off banana' - some serious skill.
08:04
A long, high ball into the Saints' goal square goes to the ground as the St Kilda big man spoil one another as they all fly for the mark.
09:50
Saints Interchange - Clinton Jones off due to an injury.
10:03
The Giants have the ball out of play deep in their attacking half, they need to score of this opportunity.
11:42
GOAL GIANTS - Smith gets thumped to the turf and as he gets up a pass falls into his lap. He will go back and take the set shot, the kick from 30 out is perfect and he has five goals.
12:06
SCORE GOAL - Giants (Devon Smith)
13:42
BEHIND SAINTS - Stanley with a great mark blots his copy book as he leaves his kick wide...the lead is out to five points but that was very kickable.
14:07
SCORE BEHIND - Saints (Rhys Stanley)
16:23
BEHIND GIANTS - Scully with time and space pushes a snap shot across the face, he needed to make better use of that opportunity.
16:47
SCORE BEHIND - Giants (Tom Scully)
18:12
BEHIND GIANTS - Patton with a chance to mark metres out fumbles the ball and then when he gains control he can only manage a behind...he needed clean hands.
18:22
SCORE BEHIND - Giants (Jonathon Patton)
20:22
The ball is trapped in the GWS goal square and they cannot score that break through goal, but they're keeping it penned in attack.
21:01
SCORE BEHIND - Giants (Rushed)
21:32
BEHIND GIANTS - The Giants rush a ball through their own goal as they try to find the goal they need to hit the front.
21:51
Giants Interchange - Adam Kennedy off due to an injury.
21:58
BEHIND GIANTS - A smother from the GWS and Treloar finds himself 45 out running into goal, he slams the ball onto his boot and pushes it wide...another behind.
22:06
SCORE BEHIND - Giants (Adam Treloar)
23:11
GOAL SAINTS - Against the flow the Saints get out of defence...a shocking kick into attack looks to be falling into 'no-mans' land' when Templeton sprints into picture marks and goals, Saints' by 7.
23:17
SCORE GOAL - Saints (Eli Templeton)
26:03
Another great defensive mark from St Kilda, they have stood tall this term against the what is an exceptionally tall GWS forward set up.
27:14
Coniglio with a long 'up and under' kick the ball will drop into space 20 out from the Giants' goal and no-one is there except St Kilda who clear once again...they need a plan B when going forward.
29:02
The ball is in Riewoldt's hands, he kicks it out on the full but it won't matter as the Saints have done enough - they will be two and zip at the end of the second round.
29:56
FINAL SIREN - St Kilda run out winners by seven points and still the Giants look for their first win at Etihad Stadium. Both sides played their hearts out but the Saints looked better going forward.
29:57
FULL TIME - GWS were too often caught out 'bombing the ball deep' and that enabled the Saints to set up their defence to counter the high ball, they needed a plan B.
