STEVE Johnson claimed a victory over his former club at the first attempt as Greater Western Sydney stunned Geelong by 13 points in Canberra.
Off-season signing Johnson booted two goals and laid a few hard hits on ex-teammates in the hearty 13.11 (89) to 11.10 (76) victory at a sold-out Manuka Oval on Sunday.
It was the Giants' first win of the season and their first in five clashes against Geelong.
The Giants almost let slip a 37-point third-term lead but some solid defensive work and a late goal to Ryan Griffen sealed one of the biggest wins in the expansion club's brief history.

GWS hardly saw the ball early but managed to take a two-point lead into the first break.

It came back to hurt them in the second quarter as GWS dominated the stoppages and booted six goals to four.
A major to ruckman Shane Mumford on the siren gave them a 15-point advantage at half-time.
They enjoyed a near perfect third term, but let slip a couple of late goals.
