Chad Cornes and Dean Brogan will become full-time assistant coaches for the Greater Western Sydney GIANTS.

The pair, who joined the club from Port Adelaide at the end of 2011, retired from AFL football this year.

Cornes played 16 games for the GIANTS for a career total of 255 AFL games. He was a member of Port Adelaide's 2004 premiership team.

Brogan played 19 games for the GIANTS for a career total of 193 AFL games. He was also a member of Port Adelaide's 2004 premiership side.

"Chad and Dean have helped guide our young players through their first two years in the AFL and we look forward to their ongoing contribution to the club," General Manager of Football Graeme Allan said.

As well as the retirements of Cornes and Brogan, Setanta O'hAilpin, Bret Thornton, Gerald Ugle, Josh Growden and Joe Redfern have also been delisted.

O'hAilpin played seven games for the GIANTS for a career total of 88 games after joining the club  from Carlton in 2012. He has kicked 82 goals.

Thornton played one game for the GIANTS in 2013 for a career total of 189 games after joining the club from Carlton. Ugle played three games for the GIANTS after joining the club as a 17 year-old access selection in 2011.

Growden did not play a senior game after joining the GIANTS as a 17 year-old access selection. He missed the 2012 season with a broken leg. Redfern was on the GIANTS Rookie List in 2013 after being recruited from Wagga Wagga.

"I want to thank all these players for their contribution to the club and wish them all the very best for the future," Allan said.
