Overview

  • Sam Taylor sustained a broken toe during GWS’s win over Brisbane and is set to miss four to five weeks, ruling him out of games against Gold Coast, West Coast, Geelong and Essendon.
  • Brent Daniels suffered an adductor tendon injury in the same match and will undergo scans to determine the length of his recovery.
  • Aaron Cadman produced a career-best performance of five goals and 13 marks in the comeback win and will celebrate his 50th AFL game against Gold Coast Suns.
  • Cadman credits veteran forward Jesse Hogan’s mentorship for helping him adapt to AFL level and accelerate his development.
  • The Giants must reshuffle both their backline and forward structure as they integrate young talent while navigating a challenging run without two key defenders.
