The GIANTS have made three changes ahead of this weekend’s finals-shaping clash against the Dockers at ENGIE Stadium.

GIANTS vice-captain Stephen Coniglio will return for his first game since round 18 after managing an ongoing shoulder complaint.

The star midfielder has endured a solid block of rehabilitation and training to ensure he can return to his dominant form and bolster the GIANTS ‘midfield ahead of an important run to the finals.

Ruckman Kieren Briggs will also return for the round 23 clash after missing last week’s come-from-behind win over the Lions after being managed.

Young forward Toby McMullin will also return to the side after being a late out for last week’s game with groin soreness.

Following an impressive start to his AFL career, Harvey Thomas will sit out the match, with the draftee - who has played 21 straight games - being managed.

Versatile tall Lachlan Keeffe and last week’s substitute, Conor Stone, keep their spots in Adam Kingsley’s side, while Max Gruzewski and Xavier O’Halloran have been omitted.

The GIANTS will take on the Dockers at ENGIE Stadium at 1:45pm on Saturday.
