A host of AFL-listed players headline the GIANTS’ line-up for their round one VFL clash with Footscray on Sunday afternoon.

GIANTS VFL head coach Wayne Cripps has named 11 AFL-listed players in his side, with returning duo Darcy Jones and Cooper Hamilton amongst the inclusions alongside Toby McMullin and Josh Fahey.

Veteran Lachlan Keeffe and emerging dashing defender Leek Aleer will also take their place in the clash with the Bulldogs.

The season-opener will also see seven new faces pull on the orange and charcoal for the first time, with former Sydney Swan Marc Sheather headlining the newcomers following an impressive summer on the track since joining the club.
