The Sharks led from start to finish dominating the clearances 49 to 20 and had 39 more inside 50s than the Lions.

Almost two years on, Steve Daniel has his side humming, winning their last five games and once again sitting on top of the VFL ladder.
“We have had a terrific start to the year. I’m so proud of what we have been able to achieve so far. But the job is nowhere near done!” Daniel said.
“The challenge now when you keep winning games and by big margins like today, how do you not get complacent because the moment you do, you start losing games. For me, it comes back to mindset, and I can’t fault how the boys went about it today.”
