Episode 5 for the 2026 season is here, and we’re heading out west (kind of) to look at the Greater Western Sydney Giants — the back-to-back fifth-placed specialists as Hawko so eloquently put it. 

The Giants have talented list that continues to threaten without quite breaking through, the Giants once again mixed promise with frustration in 2025.

We break down the GWS 2025 season, the emergence of Finn Callaghan and Lachie Ash, and what the arrival of Clayton Oliver means for their midfield mix. From changes in ball movement, to role shifts across the ground, we cover who boomed, who flopped, and who could explode for AFL Fantasy in 2026.

We also look at the Giants’ ins & outs, Fantasy breakouts to watch (Rowston anyone?), and lock in our ultimate picks from "the orange team" heading into the 2026 season.
