GIANTS vice-captain Stephen Coniglio will return to the GIANTS’ line-up for this Saturday’s semi-final against the Power.
The All-Australian squad member was a late out for last weekend’s elimination final due to blurred vision from an eye injury sustained at training.
The star midfielder has been in career-best form and will be a handy inclusion to the GIANTS’ side, who are looking to progress to next week’s preliminary final against the ‘Pies.
Coniglio was replaced in last week’s side by exciting forward Xavier O’Halloran, with both O’Halloran and last week’s sub, Nick Haynes, named in the emergencies list.
A healthy list and a 24-point elimination final win meant minimal changes for Adam Kingsley.
"We're really healthy, as healthy as we’ve been all year really,” Kingsley said.
“We welcome ‘Cogs’ [Stephen Coniglio] back in as a handy inclusion but, other than that, we’ll be expecting more of the same, if not better.
“Obviously we’ve got a massive challenge coming up against Port, but we’re ready for it.”
The GIANTS will take on the Power on Saturday night at Adelaide Oval in the second semi-final.
