Greater Western Sydney has recorded its biggest winning margin to continue Gold Coast's woes, with a 91-point home thrashing of the Suns.
Forward Jeremy Cameron equalled his club record of seven goals, a mark he has achieved on four occasions, with the Giants strolling to a 22.17 (149) to 9.4 (58) victory.
The Giants controlled the game from the outset, scoring the first 20 points and kicking seven of the first eight goals.
It was the fourth time in their past five games the potent Giants had scored more than 125 points.
They now face a series of potentially far-tougher fixtures against other finals aspirants, the Western Bulldogs, Adelaide, Geelong and Sydney.
Injury plagued Gold Coast slumped to a fifth-straight loss.
Brandon Matera and Jarrad Grant each kicked three goals for the Suns and Tom Lynch two, with Aaron Hall tallying 32 touches.
MEDICAL ROOM
Greater Western Sydney: the home side appeared to get through their big win unscathed.
Gold Coast: Adam Saad missed most of the second half with a hamstring strain so he'll likely be missing next week, with skipper Gary Ablett also very sore after the match.
NEXT UP
The Giants get a rare two-game stretch at home with a clash against the Western Bulldogs at Spotless Stadium next Sunday, while the SUNS head back to Metricon Stadium to welcome the Crows in a crucial match on Saturday afternoon.
