The GIANTS will meet their next crop of draftees in their own backyard with the 2016 NAB AFL Draft to be hosted at the Hordern Pavillion in Sydney on Friday night.
Sydney will also host the 2017 draft.
The draft had been a Melbourne institution since its inception in 1986, with Adelaide (1997) the only different venue used until 2010, when the event was taken to the Gold Coast to celebrate the Suns' admission to the League the following season.
Sydney last hosted the event in 2011, the year before the GIANTS made their AFL debut. On that night the GIANTS selected stars Jonny Patton, Stephen Coniglio, Toby Greene, Adam Tomlinson, Devon Smith and Nick Haynes among others.
Perth and Brisbane remain the only two major AFL cities never to host the showpiece.
Four NSW players were taken in the top 20 at the 2015 NAB AFL Draft at the Adelaide Convention Centre.
