After a week full of uncertainty, the GIANTS have named their 21-player team to take on the Adelaide Crows on Sunday at Blacktown International SportsPark.
Key defender Lou Stephenson, midfielder Britt Tully and ruck Jess Allan have all been added to the team for Sunday’s much-anticipated contest against the Crows.
Stephenson and Allan returned to training with the group this week in Sydney, after work and study commitments meant they couldn’t be with the team in the Adelaide hub.
Britt Tully was declared fully fit by medical staff during the week following knee surgery during the off-season.
Defender Annalyse Lister will sit out Sunday’s game following a concussion sustained in last Sunday’s round one match against the Dockers.
In line with the new rules, Lister will be sidelined for a minimum of 12 days, with a goal to return for round three if she progresses smoothly.
The GIANTS and the Crows will play a closed match on Sunday afternoon at Blacktown International SportsPark
GIANTS fans can watch the match live on 7mate in NSW and the ACT or on Foxtel, Kayo or the Telstra TV, AFL Women’s or AFL official apps.
