A 24-player extended squad has been announced as the GIANTS get set to meet the Swans in the second edition of the Sydney Derby in the AFLW competition.
Confirmed to make her debut in the opening-round clash is promising ruck Fleur Davies.
Davies was drafted to the GIANTS with pick 64 in the 2022 NAB AFLW Draft but was sidelined for the entirety of season seven with a shoulder injury.
The GIANTS will also be bolstered by the return of leaders Pepa Randall and Rebecca Beeson, with the experienced duo making their return to the GIANTS’ line-up following their respective long-term injuries.
Four-time Gabrielle Trainor Medallist Alyce Parker will be looking to return to her blistering form while fellow midfielder Zarlie Goldsworthy has been flagged as a Rising Star contender for the upcoming season.
Isadora McLeay, Izzy Huntington, Emily Pease and Annise Bradfield were unavailable for selection due to injury.
The final team of 21 set to take on the Swans will be named at 5pm on Friday. The GIANTS take on the Swans at North Sydney Oval at 3:05pm on Sunday afternoon.
