The GIANTS matched a bid on Canberra Academy product Josh Fahey with pick 42 of the 2021 NAB AFL Draft. A medium defender/wingman who really takes the game on using his speed, step through traffic, and prodigious elite left foot to break the game open. He starred for the Australian NAB AFL Academy team against Geelong’s VFL side in April, winning the AFL Commission Chairman’s Medal as Australia’s best player with 23 disposals at 75 per cent efficiency. Played three games for the GIANTS in the VFL this year, averaging 13.3 disposals with his best being 24 disposals against Richmond. Recorded an outstanding 5:59 (Strava tested) for the 2km time trial in NAB AFL Draft Combine testing. He required a shoulder reconstruction in May of 2022 that cut short his year but was rewarded for strong reserves form with a two-year contract.
