GWS Giants vs Brisbane Lions: AFL live scores

GWS are missing gun midfielder Tom Green as they host Brisbane in their first match of the season in Canberra. Join The Roar for live scores and commentary from 4:35pm (AEST).

Green is a massive loss for the Giants, who came from behind late to pip Hawthorn in a thriller in Gather Round. Harry Himmelberg was the hero with the winning goal as well as a last-minute touch on the Hawks’ goal line to save the game, and he’ll need more heroics today if the Giants are to spring an upset.

Despite looking mostly short of a gallop in 2023, the Lions are 3-2 and on track for another finals appearance. Jack Gunston returns to bolster the forward line more, as they aim for a second straight win on the road.
