Greater Western Sydney has made four changes for Saturday night’s clash at UNSW Canberra Oval, Canberra.
Dawson Simpson (ankle), Toby Greene (hamstring), Brett Deledio (calf) and Sam Taylor (hamstring) are out of the side after picking up injuries against Carlton.
The quartet has been replaced by Dylan Shiel, Tim Taranto, Sam Reid and Ryan Griffen, who have all overcome their own injury concerns.
Giants coach Leon Cameron said his side are expecting a close game despite current ladder positions.
“We played well against them nine weeks ago when we played them over there but they’re going to be close to full strength, they were really good against Port, they were good against Melbourne, and they’re playing some good footy,” Cameron said.
“They know it’s their last roll of the dice so they’re going to throw everything at us but equally we’ve got to throw everything at them too because we haven’t got any mortgage on our finals spot as well.”
GWS’s team is:
B: Nick Haynes, Phil Davis, Adam Kennedy
HB: Sam Reid, Adam Tomlinson, Matt Buntine
C: Lachie Whitfield, Callan Ward, Josh Kelly
HF: Tim Taranto, Harry Himmelberg, Jacob Hopper
F: Zac Langdon, Jeremy Cameron, Aiden Bonar
FOLL: Rory Lobb, Stephen Coniglio, Dylan Shiel
INT: Heath Shaw, Brent Daniels, Matt de Boer, Ryan Griffen
EMG: Lachlan Keeffe, Jeremy Finlayson, Daniel Lloyd, Dylan Buckley
