Toby Bedford, Aaron Cadman, and Brent Daniels will all suit up for their first game of the 2026 Toyota AFL Premiership Season, while Jack Buckley will make his return from concussion protocols.

Bedford and Daniels have both overcome their hamstring injuries suffered in the pre-season, while Cadman has recovered from pelvic soreness.

Nick Madden’s fine form at VFL level has been rewarded, with the 21-year-old ruck named to play his fourth AFL game on Sunday afternoon.

Kieren Briggs, Callum Brown, Joey Delana, Max Gruzewski, and James Leake have all been omitted.

The GIANTS have won all three of their Gather Round games and will look to keep that record intact when they take on Richmond in the Barossa on Sunday afternoon.
