Live: Slick Bulldogs dominating lacklustre Giants

Lachlan Bramble kicks a goal on the run for the Bulldogs after cleaning up some loose ball close to the arc.

It’s Bramble’s first major of the match, as the Bulldogs lead by 80.

Stephen Coniglio’s goal won’t save the Giants from embarrassment but it at least shows their supporters they want to play through to the final siren.

The Bulldogs’ lead is back to 75 points.

It’s a day out for Aaron Naughton, who has six goals to his name.

The Bulldogs enjoy an 81-point buffer on the scoreboard and are showing no signs of slowing up.

The Bulldogs’ lead is now up to 75 points following Matthew Kennedy’s first goal of the match.

Marcus Bontempelli was unable to mark a pass from Tom Liberatore, but Kennedy was on hand to seize possession and snap from inside 50.

Aaron Naughton now has five goals to his name, as the final quarter continues.

On his own close to the boundary inside 50, Naughton marked the ball before going around the body from a tight angle to kick his latest major.

It’s a 69-point lead to the Bulldogs five minutes into the fourth term.

And just like that …

Sam Darcy kicked his fourth goal of the match inside the first minute of the final quarter.

Play is back underway!

How will the fourth term play out?

A behind to Matthew Kennedy on the siren sees the Bulldogs lead by 58 points as we head into the huddle at the final change.

A dominant performance so far from the Bulldogs, whose defence has been impressive to keep the Giants largely silent this afternoon.

Harry Rowston snaps from close to goal, giving the Giants their sixth goal of the match.

It would be a monumental collapse if the Bulldogs lost from this point, but the Giants are at least attemtping to limit the damage on the scoreboard.

Oskar Baker has a second goal of the match.

After taking an uncontested mark inside 50, Baker went around the body from the set-shot with his right boot to move the Bulldogs’ lead back above 60 points.

It will be a steep climb if the Giants are to claw their way back into the contest.

But Toby Greene is refusing to throw in the towel, dribbling in a goal for the visitors.

The Bulldogs, though, hold a 58-point advantage on the scoreboard.

OK, this is getting out of hand for the Giants …

Or will the Giants launch a fightback?
