Team Announcement
Dynamic forward Alicia Eva returns to Cam Bernasconi’s side ahead of Saturday’s round ten clash with the Dockers.
Inaugural AFLW player Alicia Eva will return to the GIANTS’ side for Saturday’s Pride Round match-up against the Dockers.
Eva had been kept out of the team by a hamstring injury sustained during the round three loss to the Crows. She was on track for a return ahead of round seven before a minor quad strain delayed her return for a further three weeks.
The dynamic forward adds almost 80 games of experience to the young GIANTS side, having played across all ten seasons of the AFLW.
Alongside key forwards Tarni Evans and Georgia Garnett, Eva will be looking to punish the Dockers’ defensive line-up and use her speed to finish opportunities inside the attacking arc.
Aliesha Newman, who has come off the bench in the second half of the last two games, will make way for Eva’s return.
The GIANTS return to Henson Park for the second week of Pride Round, taking on the Dockers at 3:05pm on Saturday, October 18.
