Defender Daisy Walker will return for her third game of the season when the GIANTS take on the Swans for round five of the 2026 NAB AFLW Season. 

Walker adds plenty of speed inside the defensive 50 and another avenue in transition play, pairing with Tilly Lucas-Rodd and Cambridge McCormick at half-back. 

The former Blue has played 43 games across her career and brings plenty of experience with the ability to also perform as a lock-down defender. 

Walker comes into the side for Brodee Mowbray who has unfortunately been sidelined by a quad injury.  

Sara Howley moves off the interchange, after a strong start to her 2026 campaign, throughout which she has been an important pressure player for the GIANTS, playing both around contest and on the wing.  

The GIANTS and Swans will look to break their match attendance record when they meet on Sunday, September 13 at 2:35pm at Henson Park.
