Ranking the top 10 Giants I've seen was an enjoyable yet fairly straight-forward task given the club is only 15 seasons old.
From the originals, prized picks and draftees to those who have extended their careers with the Orange Team, there's been a plethora of talent from day dot.
While GWS is yet to win its first premiership, 19 finals, a Grand Final appearance, four preliminary finals and finals campaigns in seven of the last nine seasons point to a perennial contender.
The genuine superstars have made an impact but those who have helped build the culture and character and set the standards are as worthy of recognition.
Apologies: Heath Shaw, Jesse Hogan, Finn Callaghan, Tom Scully
4Josh Kelly
A smooth mover with a knack for a timely goal, Kelly has lived up to the expectations of a No.2 pick.
A beautiful, reliable kick, consistently consistent, the goal-kicking midfielder has a packed CV including All-Australian honours, dual best-and-fairest awards, the co-captaincy in 2022 and long-time vice-captain and leadership group member.
An injury ravaged few years, and expected to miss the entire 2026 injury following hip surgery, means Giants fans have been deprived of Kelly's availability let alone best.
He's been in the coaches box, with notebook in hand, this season and with his high IQ perhaps a career in coaching awaits.
