The GWS Giants celebrate the 1000th game for Kevin Sheedy as a player and coach as Port Adelaide come to town. We’ll have live scores from 2.10pm AEST.
The coaching icon has been the focus of the build-up to this clash, with his remarkable playing and coaching career being re-explored.
He’s the first person to reach the 1000-game milestone.
Can the occasion be topped off with a win? Well, there’s no doubting that playing at home against another lowly-ranked team is something of an opportunity for the Giants.
However, Port Adelaide – while certainly inconsistent – have showed promising signs at times this season and will be hungry to register their sixth win of the season.
It was a tough weekend for the Giants a week ago, going down to Collingwood by 120 points in front of just 8,102 spectators.
Adam Treloar deservedly earned a Rising Star nomination for his 37 touches and nine marks. Toby Greene had 35 disposals and Devon Smith registered three goals.
Port Adelaide hosted Fremantle but weren’t able to get the job done, going down by 27 points. Kane Cornes had 31 disposals, while Travis Boak and Dom Cassisi were also among the best.
The Giants have made five changes, while Port lose Troy Chaplin and Darren Pfeiffer yet gain Hamish Hartlett and Jay Shulz.
