Monday morning. This is your town. This is your station. This is Waitley.
Good morning. What an amazing weekend of footy. The best of the season so far. Thrilling, hectic, astonishing and deeply satisfying. From the perfectly orchestrated acknowledgement of Scott Pendlebury at the 10-minute mark of the first quarter to the stunning comeback of North Melbourne in the breakthrough victory long awaited.
From the heart and mouth flurries of the Bulldogs and Demons to the jaw-dropping third quarter from the Giants. Perhaps only Essendon fans aren't feeling the waves of rapture footy conjured in the past few days. It's rife for snap judgments. What do you feel most passionately from round 11 of this AFL season? If you're in the stands for a few of these moments. 1-300-736-736.
And the 40 Wings temper text is 0-4-3-3-98-11-16. The difference is temper. And a big welcome back to the season to the Western Bulldogs and the Giants. Ripley would ask, believe it or not. P.T. Barnum would have boasted, you'll be astonished and amazed. Mulder and Scully would have concluded, some things can't be explained.

Chapter 2: What were the highlights of the weekend's AFL matches?
And every insurance company in the world would write it off as an act of God. The 14-goal third quarter the Giants put on the Lions is difficult to fully grasp. Any wonder Adam Kingsley has been so calm through the disappointments of recent weeks. It'll come. This is what we do. And there it was.
Even the calmest, most rational eye was drawn to the idea we might have been witnessing the end of the lion's reign. Have you ever seen a team run quite so hot as the Giants did? And the trick to what unfolded? This wasn't the tsunami. Only one goal in the relentless onslaught came from the trademark run-off half-back.
This was the Giants dominating at stoppage and pressuring for forward half turnover, where previously they had looked one-dimensional, very one-dimensional. This was total football. And amid the relentless hunt and exquisite ball use, everything, and I mean everything, went right. How else do you conjure the highest scoring third term in league history?
Every audacious snap was magnetically drawn to goal. The set shots that started off course suddenly veered in. The bounce of the ball went their way from the boundary to a round goal. The Giants got every free kick on offer and a few that weren't, and not even the arc could find an angle to help the Lions. And the momentum grew to such a degree as to render the team of the era useless.
Chapter 3: How did the Giants achieve their stunning comeback victory?
Half an hour of mesmerising footy revolved around Toby Green, Brent Daniels, Jake Stringer, Phoenix Goddard and Toby Bedford. And nary a lion was seen. Totally blown away. The commitment of the Giants was to play fast. A bit of Lightning McQueen. I am speed. And for 37 minutes, they made the case for football perfection. They can go for goal from 48 metres out. Another one to the Giants.
Brent Daniels from downtown. Green scoops it up around the body. It'll bounce. It'll bounce. It's a goal. His second. And they are running riot now, the Giants. Toby Green chips to the pocket. It's all working the Giants' way. Is that stringer in the pocket again? Yes, it is. Jake the Snake. They can do no wrong at the moment, the Giants. Brent Daniels takes a bounce.
He can run into an open goal and bang home another. His second. And the rot continues.
Stringer. The package delivers, he's fourth. The margin is 90 points. It was six points the margin at halftime.
The third quarter just felt like everything we touched turned to gold. So that's nice when it happens. It doesn't happen often, obviously, but yeah, really, really pleased with it. You know, just for some whatever reason, who knows, it just clicked in that third quarter. Who knows? You could write a 10,000-word thesis on that quarter or go with three. Act of God.
Chris Fagan forecasts the Lions will be written off, and with good cause. You can't be seen as a premiership contender playing like that. It's the challenge to arrest the slide or keep going backwards, as articulated by the coach. Is this the cumulative toll of two 30-week premiership campaigns and a grand final run before that? The breaking point of staring down relentless adversity?
Or is this the premiership hangover that Lee Matthews said didn't come at the start of the season, but in the middle of the next campaign? The Lions have enough credits to be given the chance to respond. We'll know next Saturday when they face the latter leading Dockers at the Gabba. Do the Lions still have the will and energy to meet the eight count?
Or is this the moment they can't lift themselves off the canvas?
I certainly didn't see it coming at half time. When it did, nothing we tried worked. We got smashed everywhere, like at the contest, ball movement. To be truthful, our third quarters have been a problem to us for the last three weeks. for some reason or other, these quirky things sort of pop up. Need to have a talk to the group and work out what's happening there.
