When and Where: 

Saturday, April 29 at 2:10pm
Gadigal Country | Sydney Cricket Ground

What it Means for the GIANTS: 

“There was a lot to like but a lot to work on at the same time,” GIANTS midfielder Xavier O’Halloran said of the defeat to Brisbane at Manuka Oval last weekend.

Having reviewed the narrow loss to the Lions, the GIANTS will travel across the bridge chasing not only the four points, but bragging rights over their noisy neighbours at the SCG.

Last Time We Met: 

One we’d rather forget. Sydney moved into the top four after a convincing 73-point win over the GIANTS at the SCG last year. After a competitive first 20 minutes, the Swans shifted gears, kicking nine unanswered goals at one stage to finish with a 17.10 (112) to 5.9 (39) win.

Where’s the opposition at? 

It's rare a Grand Final re-match becomes a Grand Final replay, but that’s exactly what happened at GMHBA Stadium last weekend. Geelong demolished John Longmire’s by 93 points in a 20.10 (130) to 5.7 (37) rout, holding the Swans to just three behinds in the second half.

GIANTS Player to Watch: 

GIANTS fans witnessed a glimpse into the future late in the opening term last weekend as Finn Callaghan and Aaron Cadman combined to create the GIANTS’ first goal.

Callaghan found space on the wing and sent a pinpoint kick deep inside the forward 50 to the strong hands of Cadman, who kicked truly to kick-start the GIANTS. The 20-year-old has so far averaged 19.8 disposals and 5.2 marks so far this season and is on track for a breakout campaign in the orange and charcoal.

In the Mix: 

Adam Kingsley will be forced into at least three changes ahead of Sydney Derby XXV. Inaugural GIANT Adam Kennedy will miss the remainder of the season after rupturing his ACL, while veteran Callan Ward will miss out through suspension. Kevin Sheedy Medallist Sam Taylor has also been sidelined after suffering a hamstring injury in the GIANTS’ loss to Brisbane in Canberra last weekend. Midfielder Tom Green will return after serving a one-match suspension, with off-season recruit Toby Bedford also available after impressing in his return from injury in the VFL. Callum Brown (20 disposals, eight marks), Jake Riccardi (20 disposals, 13 marks, four goals) and Wade Derksen (24 disposals, 4 tackles) starred for the GIANTS in the VFL and could all come into contention.
