Isaac Cumming played a starring role in the GIANTS’ match simulation as the defender looks to again elevate his game in 2023.  

After enjoying a breakout season in 2021, Cumming has since developed into one of the GIANTS’ most influential players, averaging 23.5 disposals, 18 kicks and 537.5 meters gained in 2022. 

The 24-year-old wasn’t the only defender to impress, with Lachie Whitfield, Lachie Ash and Sam Taylor all making significant contributions throughout the four-quarter contest.

Vice-captain Stephen Coniglio was influential from the outset and spent the majority of the match playing on ball.

Fellow midfielder Finn Callaghan produced his second consecutive standout performance, showcasing his speed and penetrating left foot kick. 

Utility Jacob Wehr continues to put his best foot forward, impressing on the wing and using the ball well by hand and foot.

Number one pick Aaron Cadman looked at home playing forward, impressing with his aerial ability and goal conversion.

Jake Riccardi was another to catch the eye, showcasing his versatility in a variety of roles across the ground.

The GIANTS had most of the squad on-hand, with forward Toby Greene watching from the boundary line to manage a recent calf complaint.

The newly appointed GIANTS captain is expected to feature in the practice match against the Suns at Blacktown on March 4.
