The Slater & Gordon GIANTS Academy will take on the Swans Academy in Game 2 of the AFL Academy series at the SCG on Saturday.  

This is the final game in the series in what makes up the selection trials for the NSW RAMS State U16 & U18 squads.  

"It is a great opportunity for the players to play on one of the most famous AFL grounds and against the best players in NSW,” said Slater & Gordon GIANTS Academy Manager Lachlan Buszard.

“It is an exciting 3 months ahead as this game is a stepping stone for many of these players as they aim to be selected to play in the NAB National Under 16 & U18 Championships.

“Hopefully we’ll see some of these players follow in the foot steps of players such as Zac Williams who’s been in great form for the GIANTS AFL side, and Joe Redfern who’s another player to graduate from the Slater & Gordon GIANTS Academy to the GIANTS rookie list,” he said.

The U16 games starts at 11am with the U18 match beginning at 1.15pm.
