An inspiring performance by veteran Cora Staunton triggered bittersweet emotions in Greater Western Sydney Giants coach Alan McConnell, who is certain his side would be getting the same drive and influence from Bríd Stack, but for her injury misfortune.

The Mayo legend kicked four goals and created several others for the Giants in a 7.6 (48) to 4.4 (28) win over West Coast Eagles in Sydney this morning.
