The Brookers had a stranglehold on the match at the main break after booting seven goals to one to run out convincing 15.12 (102) to 8.3 (51) winners.
The now face raging flag favourite Osborne this week in the most anticipated match of the season so far in what many pundits are tipping as a grand final preview.

Nick Locke, Coby Ross and Logan Hamilton were also solid contributors.
Hamilton who was recruited from Lavington, shouldered most of the ruck duties with Ben Griffiths and Randal Taylor sidelined.
Brookers coach Matt Sharp said it was pleasing to keep their undefeated record intact against the Giants who are also expected to progress deep into September.
"We just went back to basics and wanted to start each quarter well," Sharp said.
"We were able to achieve that and it stood us in good stead.
"We have now played three finalists from 2019 which gives us a bit of a gauge on our finals aspirations.
"We have laid the foundations for a top-two finish and get a free hit at Osborne this week and look forward to the challenge."
