The GIANTS have made two changes for their Friday night blockbuster with the Pies, with James Leake returning to the side alongside incoming debutant Ollie Hannaford. 

As announced on Wednesday night, Hannaford will make his AFL debut on Friday after a starring 31-disposal, three-goal game across half forward in the VFL last week. 

The talented teenager will be joined in the side by Leake who comes into the team for just his fourth game at AFL level following three appearances last year. 

Capable of playing across all three lines, Leake has impressed as medium-sized defender throughout the summer. 

The young duo come into Friday’s side in place of Jack Buckley (concussion) and Harry Rowston (omitted). 

With back-to-back losses following their strong Opening Round win over the Hawks, the GIANTS will be looking to respond against Collingwood under the bright lights of Friday night footy at Marvel Stadium. 

The exciting clash will get underway at 7:40pm.
