They’re calling it Adam Kingsley’s biggest spray of all time — sparking the Giants’ incredible 79-point turnaround on Friday night at ENGIE Stadium.

Sluggish out of the gates against their arch-rivals in a must-have game to solidify their finals credentials, the Giants went into the main change trailing the Swans by 28 points.

Then, by all accounts, came an almighty bake by Kingsley to set his side straight. And set it straight it did, with GWS booting nine goals to Sydney’s on in the third quarter to take a 23-point lead into the final change. The Giants then kicked another three unanswered in the last period to seal the deal.

Asked if it was indeed an “all-time” spray from Kingsley, captain Toby Greene chuckled to the Fox Footy crew post-game: “Yeah, it was a good one. It was a good one.”

The Giants, at one point in the second quarter, trailed by 35 points after conceding six unanswered goals.

“We were real ordinary in the first half. Our contest, work rate — which we felt the Swans beat us the last five times just based on that — so it was super disappointing what we dished up in the first half,” Greene said.

“We were right up for this game. And then ‘Kingers’ (at half-time) obviously acknowledged it, and it was mostly on myself and the leaders.”

Asked by Jonathan Brown if Kingsley came at Greene directly, he said: “Yeah … direct and long.

“Contest and work rate, it just wasn’t good enough. (We) let them play the way they want to play, pressure wasn’t where it needed to be, and I acknowledged that, and we acknowledged that.

“Third quarter was a lot of that — get back to help, put pressure on, and then attack, access perimeter — and we feel like not many teams can beat us when we play the way we want to play.”

Later, with reigning Coleman medallist Jesse Hogan, the Fox Footy experts quizzed the spearhead on the spray.

“I don’t know how many sprays he’s copped, but he said ‘mate, by a mile, that’s the biggest one I’ve seen.

“He did go around the room, he got at about six blokes, so it’s one of those ones where you just shrink in a little bit.

“But he responded like he does, and we came away with a massive win.”

Further, star midfielder Finn Callaghan said after the game it was the biggest bake he’d witnessed Kingsley give.

“(It was) probably the biggest he’s ever given us, I reckon. The biggest I’ve received in my short AFL career,” Callaghan told Fox Footy on Friday night.

“Look, we deserved it. Played nowhere near to our level in the first half, the Swans smashed us around the footy and their work rate was a level better than ours. So ‘Kingers’ certainly gave it to us.

During the match broadcast, former Hawks sharpshooter claimed from boundary level that the spray was “one of his (Kingsley’s) best of all time”.

“A giant spray from Adam Kingsley. They’ve had to call the painter, he’s ripped it off the walls,” Dixon told Fox Footy.

“They’ve just told me it was one of his best of all-time to fire them up for this second half.”

Then came a Giant tsunami for the history books, with GWS booting 9.3 from 18 inside-50s to Sydney’s 1.0 in a scintillating third quarter rampage.

The 44-point win was GWS’ second-biggest Sydney Derby win and the biggest since Round 6, 2019 — breaking a run of five losses against the cross-town foe.
