“Control him”
Adam Kingsley says the Giants have a big focus on stoping Harley Reid after he tore them apart in Perth.
The youngster is still hampered by a corky and has not trained much this week.
Grandma in the house!
Christine Roberts, the grandmother of Giants WA youngster Joe Fonti and West Coast star W midfielder Ella Roberts, is at today’s game to watch on.
She had not been on a plane for 30 years before flying over to watch her grandchildren play.
Bedford latest
Bedford is out with a bad back. Stone has already played a half in the VFL this morning.
LATEST OF CHANGE
GWS have made the latest of late changes with Conor Stone in for Toby Bedford.
No late changes
Both sides will go in as named, meaning Bo Allan will be the unused traveller for the Eagles in Sydney.
Our man on the ground Mitchell Woodcock says it’s a cool but clear day at the Showgrounds venue - but don’t expect a bumper crowd for this one.
Coincidentally, this clash comes 10 years to the week since one of the venue’s absolute classic clashes: Nic Naitanui’s last-second left-foot snap to lift the Eagles past GWS in 2016.
