A thoroughly entertaining first quarter in the books in the Alice and the Giants take a two-point lead into the first change.
It’s been a bit of a back-and-forth affair so far, and Pickett’s late finish drew the Dees to within a kick.
The Dees hold a 18-10 edge in the inside 50 count and a 11-5 lead in the clearance count, including a 6-1 mark out of the middle.
Melbourne is also dominating in the clinches, leading the contested possession count 43-24.
Giants defender Lachie Ash is the leading ball-winner on the ground with 13 touches, while Jake Bowey leads the way for the Dees with 10 touches.
All four of GWS’s goals have come from turnovers, which is why they’ve been able to take the lead despite being smashed in a few key stats.
Demons skipper Max Gawn has three clearances to lead all players.
