The GIANTS will have six representatives - the equal-most of any club - when Victoria take on the All Stars in the State of Origin for bushfire relief match next week.
Half a dozen of the GIANTS’ top stars will join the best of the best from across the AFL when the exhibition match is held at Marvel Stadium in Melbourne on Friday, February 28.
Josh Kelly, Jeremy Cameron, Toby Greene, Nick Haynes and Lachie Whitfield will line up for Victoria while GIANTS captain Stephen Coniglio will represent the All Stars.
The 27-man squads to represent Victoria and the All Stars were announced on Tuesday with at least one representative from each of the 18 clubs.
The GIANTS, with a whopping six representatives, lead the way across the competition alongside reigning Premiers Richmond.
For Victoria, reigning Coleman Medallist Jeremy Cameron will line up in the forward line alongside superstar Toby Greene and will be fed the ball by a midfield that boasts Virgin Australia All Australians Josh Kelly and Lachie Whitfield. Patrolling the back half will be intercept king Nick Haynes.
After a faultless pre-season, new captain Stephen Coniglio will line up in the middle for the All Stars - made up of representatives from his home state of Western Australia, alongside New South Wales, the Australian Capital Territory, South Australia, Queensland, Tasmania and the Northern Territory.
The match is part of a double header, opening with the AFL Women's Collingwood vs Melbourne match, followed by the State of Origin match with all proceeds raised to further support the AFL Community Relief Fund.
The six players who take to the field won’t be available for selection for the GIANTS’ first Marsh Community Series match the following day against the Swans at Blacktown International Sportspark.
