Ahead of round one, AFL.com.au casts its eye over the GIANTS’ 2015 list. Today it’s the all-important midfield and ruck division. Check out all our options to help you pick your 22.

Jake Barrett: An outstanding runner who is eyeing off a senior debut after an uninterrupted pre-season. Impressed at NEAFL level last year, averaging 25 disposals. Is developing as a defensive midfielder.


Tomas Bugg: Boasts outstanding endurance, enabling him to be deployed in negating roles as well as other roles in defence. Finished third and fourth in GWS' pre-season time trials and will be looking to step up after his fourth pre-season.

Stephen Coniglio: Has had an extended pre-season after a broken thumb sidelined him for the final six rounds. Injury has dogged his career to date, but the West Australian's ability is obvious. Tagged Ryan Griffen with impressive results during an intra-club.

Tom Downie: Spent last season furthering his development in the NEAFL and benefitted at training by the arrival of Shane Mumford. A ruckman with a basketball background, he played some of his best football late in the season in a key defensive role.

Tim Golds: The athletic 191cm midfielder wore the green substitute's vest in his three games and played mostly on a wing last season. Showed encouraging signs in the NEAFL and will be pushing for more game time this year after re-signing in December.

Toby Greene: Ball magnet who bounced back from off-field issues in phenomenal style late last year. The workhorse re-committed to the GIANTS until 2018 and looms as a key player in GWS' emerging on-ball division.

Ryan Griffen: Dispelled summer rumours of more back issues with a scintillating NAB Challenge series. Griffen has said he is refreshed after falling out of love with the game and his presence is sure to take the heat off his younger teammates.

Rory Lobb: Developing ruckman who played two matches last season and showed promise before a knee injury sidelined him for five weeks, which delayed his start to pre-season. Vying for second ruck spot, has filled out over summer and can take a mark up forward.

Shane Mumford: Winning the club champion award, the Kevin Sheedy Medal, in his first season showed the big ruckman's importance to the young GIANTS. Mumford's physical presence makes the midfielders around him walk taller. Crucial to Leon Cameron's plans and is feeling the best he has in five years.

Andrew Phillips: Has endured a frustrating two seasons with injury but has impressed over pre-season. Led the ruck in the GIANTS' NAB Challenge opener and is looking to return to his 2012 form.

Tom Scully: Came back post-Christmas and blitzed the time trial, but was hampered by an ankle injury in February. The running machine returned in the final NAB Challenge game and should benefit with some pressure lifted from his shoulders after Ryan Griffen's arrival.

Dylan Shiel: Blessed with an exciting mix of speed and endurance, Shiel has taken his running ability to another level over summer. Looms as a key figure in a dangerous midfield.

Jacob Townsend: Is on crutches with bone bruising in his foot, which he suffered in the opening NAB Challenge match. The defensive midfielder's slight setback will sideline him for three more weeks.

Adam Treloar: A standout over pre-season, the rising star has continued his brilliant form from 2014. Has been tearing up the track alongside Dylan Shiel and Devon Smith.

Callan Ward: Led the young GIANTS superbly last season and was named in the All-Australian 40-man squad for the first time. His load should be lightened considerably with his old Western Bulldogs teammate Ryan Griffen taking more of the opposition's attention. Could go to another level.

Lachie Whitfield: Smooth-moving on-baller who had a delayed start to pre-season after foot and shoulder surgery. Is fighting fit and looking forward to a big year. Highly rated within the club.

Sam Schulz: Battled minor niggling injuries over summer. The rookie had a broken rib towards the end of last season and is yet to have a clear run at establishing himself.
