Captain Toby Greene has been confirmed to return to the GIANTS line-up alongside Jake Riccardi, with young ruck Kieren Briggs to play his first game of the season.
Superstar skipper Greene will take his spot in the forward line at GIANTS Stadium on Sunday after overcoming an ankle injury, which has kept him out of the past two matches.
It will be game 199 for the inaugural GIANT who is now set to reach the 200-game milestone against Geelong next week.
Riccardi has kicked 13 goals over the past four weeks in the VFL, including two goals in the GIANTS’ last-gasp win over Collingwood last weekend.
23-year-old ruckman Briggs comes into the team for the first time this season after playing a starring role in the VFL, registering 41 hit-outs, 25 disposals, eight marks and a goal.
Out of the side is rookie defender Callum Brown, ruck Matt Flynn and forward Daniel Lloyd.
Veteran Callan Ward will start as the sub for Sunday’s clash.
The GIANTS return to GIANTS Stadium for the first time since round three to take on St Kilda on Sunday afternoon in Sir Doug Nicholls Round.
