The GIANTS have made five changes to their team to take on Carlton at Marvel Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

After signing a new two-year contract with the club, reliable defender Adam Kennedy returns from concussion for the crunch clash.

Irishman Callum Brown, who kicked four goals against Hawthorn in round 16, has been named along with key forward Zach Sproule.

The GIANTS will go into the match with two rucks with Braydon Preuss to be partnered by youngster Kieren Briggs, who had an impressive game in the VFL last week.

Confirmed out of Sunday’s match are Josh Kelly (concussion) and Connor Idun (broken foot). Ruck Matt Flynn has been omitted while midfielder Tom Green and forward Jesse Hogan have been managed.

The GIANTS take on Carlton at Marvel Stadium at 1:10pm on Sunday.
