GWS coach Adam Kingsley says he is unfazed by speculation about Toby Greene’s future at the Giants.<\/p>\n

Giants captain Greene is off-contract at the end of the season and eligible for unrestricted free agency.<\/p>\n

Geelong has emerged as a possible suitor for the 32-year-old Victorian, who has played all 274 matches in his career at GWS.<\/p>\n

Greene has previously spoken about his wish to be a one-club player, having surpassed Callan Ward as the Giants’ all-time games record holder when he played his 268th match.<\/p>\n

Kingsley said he would not put pressure on Greene.<\/p>\n

“I’d prefer him to sign today, but the reality is that’s not going to happen,” Kingsley said.<\/p>\n

“He needs time to discuss and think, so we’ll give him as much time as he needs.<\/p>\n

“I’m not going to press him for information. I’m not going to be in his ear every day.<\/p>\n

“He’s a big boy. He can make big boy decisions, and that’s what he’ll do when he feels comfortable doing that.<\/p>\n

“Whenever that is, we’re comfortable with what his decision will be.”<\/p>\n

Star forward Jesse Hogan and inaugural Giants player Stephen Coniglio are also off-contract at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Jake Riccardi, Max Gruzeweski, Conor Stone, Kieren Briggs and Nick Madden are yet to decide on whether they will stay with the Giants.<\/p>\n

“I’m really comfortable with where we’re at,” Kingsley said.<\/p>\n

“We’re in a really strong position not only in the immediate future but beyond that, so I’m confident that those guys will sign.”<\/p>\n
