The GIANTS have informed versatile tall Vivien Saad and utility Meghan Gaffney this week that they will not be offered contracts for the 2026 AFLW season.
Saad joined the club at the start of the year from the Suns as a delisted free agent, but struggled to break into the senior side, following a long stint of rehabilitation for a partially ruptured Achilles.
She played one game for the club this year, the round 11 loss to the Blues.
Gaffney's time in the AFLW has been significantly hampered by injuries after being drafted by the GIANTS in 2022.
She played six matches in her debut year before tearing her ACL ahead of the 2023 season, an injury which cruelly recurred in the final game of 2024.
Executive General Manager of AFLW, Alison Zell extended her gratitude to both players.
"I'd like to thank both Meghan and Viv for their contributions to our AFLW program and club," Zell said.
"Meghan has been an important part of our team over the past four seasons and has been a very popular member of the playing group. We thank her for her resilience and impact through this time.
"Viv has been a greatly respected contributor to the team and we've loved getting to know her across this year. We wish both she and Meghan all the best for the future."
