The GIANTS have made two changes to their side to take on the in-form Collingwood at the MCG on Sunday afternoon.
James Peatling returns to the 22 after making an immediate impact coming on in the third quarter as the sub last week, picking up seven touches and using his speed to his advantage.
Third-year defender Cameron Fleeton will make his AFL debut after starring in the VFL this season.
The 20-year-old has been a mainstay of the VFL side over the past two-and-a-half seasons as he’s developed and worked on his craft.
Over his six games this season he’s led the backline and averaged 24 disposals, last week collecting 31 disposals and 10 marks in the win over the Footscray Bulldogs.
Captain Toby Greene will miss another week with an ankle injury while defender Isaac Cumming picked up a calf injury this week.
Ruck Kieren Briggs and defender Josh Fahey have been added to the emergencies list in their place.
Veteran Callan Ward will start as the sub for Sunday’s clash.
The GIANTS take on the Magpies at the MCG on Sunday.
