Former GIANT Adam Treloar has been identified as a major threat to Greater Western Sydney's chances of a record-equalling 11th win for the season against Collingwood on Saturday.

The star midfielder is ranked fifth in the AFL for disposals this year, one spot ahead of his skipper Scott Pendlebury, after leaving GWS for the Magpies at the end of last season, and has been a rare positive for his new club in 2016.

GIANTS’ onballer Stephen Coniglio is usually the go-too man for coach Leon Cameron when he wants to put the clamps on an opposition gun through the middle of the ground, and the West Australian hasn't ruled out a match-up with his old teammate.

Coniglio helped launch the AFL's Multicultural round on Tuesday in Western Sydney alongside Sydney Swans defender Aliir Aliir, and said while he hasn't spoken to Treloar this week, that's sure to change, as the game gets closer.

"I think there'll be a bit of banter out there, it's only healthy for the fixture," he laughed.

"He's had a great season to date and we'll definitely looking at him on Saturday as a player we need to control.

"He wouldn't be expecting too much lip from me, but there'll be a bit in the game I think, obviously with Heath (Shaw) coming across (from Collingwood) and Adam (Treloar) going there.

"I'm not sure who I'll end up on, but obviously (Scott) Pendlebury and (Steele) Sidebottom are huge barometers for them as well."

The GIANTS are coming off their mid-season bye and take on the Pies as heavy favourites, and Coniglio said the week off was a chance to take stock, and refocus on what lies ahead.

With eight games remaining this year and GWS likely to be favourites in every one of them, the club is not only in a position to eclipse last year's 11 win-season, but be significant players in the premiership race.

After this week's clash with Collingwood, the Giants hit the road to take on the Brisbane Lions and Port Adelaide, Richmond in Canberra and Gold Coast; they then return to Spotless Stadium for two consecutive games against West Coast and Fremantle, before finishing the regular season against North Melbourne at Etihad Stadium.

"For us, more mentally than physically, it's a chance to reset where our goals are for the next eight weeks, and where we can ultimately end up," Coniglio said.

"Internally, mainly what we've spoken about is what we've done so far.

"When the big games arise, where we lacked a bit of momentum I guess, in terms of trying to turn those into wins.

"We're under no illusions that we've got a really tough game this week against Collingwood, who'll be looking to come up here and play well.

"Whatever happens after that we'll just have to take it as it comes."

The GIANTS are proud to celebrate the 2016 Toyota AFL Multicultural Round during their match against Collingwood at Spotless Stadium on Saturday, July 9.

Multicultural Round highlights the contribution multicultural communities have made to the game’s history and welcomes new communities to embrace Australian Football as fans, players, umpires or administrators.
