1. How much did Easter Monday take out of Danger?
After his 43-possession masterpiece against Hawthorn last week, Patrick Dangerfield started with another 12 in the opening quarter against Greater Western Sydney but from there, the star looked like he ran out of juice. Dangerfield managed just 10 more touches for the day and although he never stopped trying, it was clear the former Crow had nothing more to give.

2. Shane Mumford is the most destructive player in the game
He's the Giants' barometer for many reasons and the biggest one is his appetite for the contest. Mumford almost put Mitch Duncan into next week with a monster bump in the second term that left the midfielder seeing stars, before he sent Jordan Murdoch limping to the bench after he crunched the Cat in a marking contest. The ruckman influences a game of footy with his competitiveness and sheer will to help his side at any cost.

3. Leon Cameron went small and it worked
The Giants' coach dropped Adam Tomlinson and James Stewart from his side that lost to Melbourne in round one, with Jon Patton included in the line-up to face Geelong. Patton and fellow tall target Rory Lobb didn't have great days but the little men GWS had inside 50 did. Devon Smith, Steve Johnson, Rhys Palmer and Will Hoskin-Elliott were all extremely lively for the home side and gave the forward line a potency they lacked just one week earlier.

4. Stevie J's love for a goal has not diminished
In the hoops of his former club or the orange of his new team, Johnson knows where the big sticks are and he loves threading them. The 2007 Norm Smith medallist has kicked more than 450 goals in his stellar career and showed off all the tricks in his book against his old buddies. Johnson showed plenty of emotion both times he hit the scoreboard on Sunday and you get the sense those goals meant a little bit more playing against the club he won three flags with.

5. What is classified as umpire abuse in 2016?
Geelong runner Nigel Lappin was looking for somewhere to hide midway through the second quarter with the Cats trailing by 15 points. A free kick was paid by the non-controlling umpire against Lappin deep inside Geelong’s defensive 50 for chatting to the man in green. Tom Scully converted the crucial goal but post-match Geelong coach Chris Scott defended the Lions champion, saying he had merely given the umpire his thoughts on the game. Scott told media post-match that Lappin had said "Scully's dragged it in twice now”. Correct call or not, it was a game-changing moment.
