GWS will be without star rebounding defender Lachie Whitfield until at least after the bye, with Giants coach Leon Cameron confirming he underwent surgery on a broken collarbone.
Whitfield sustained the injury during the last quarter of his side's win over the Suns on Saturday, and will now miss at least a month of football.

Cameron went on to say he expects defenders Sam Taylor and Zac Williams to be available this weekend as a replacement for Whitfield, with Williams set to return from a hamstring injury.
MORE TO COME.
