As the GIANTS gear up for their final game of the season, they will travel to the picturesque City of Churches to face off against the Power this Sunday afternoon at Alberton Oval. This match represents not only an opportunity for the team to conclude the season on a positive note but also a moment of significance for one of their most celebrated players.
In a notable milestone, Alicia Eva, the team’s former captain and inspirational leader, is set to play her 75th AFLW game against Port Adelaide. This achievement marks her as the first player in GIANTS history to reach this milestone, solidifying her legacy within the club. Since joining in 2018 after a stint with Collingwood, Eva has been a cornerstone of the team both on and off the field. With five seasons as captain under her belt, she has not only excelled as a player, being named vice-captain in her debut year and earning accolades such as the Gabrielle Trainor Medal and All-Australian selection, but she has also been a pivotal influence in promoting women’s football.
This weekend also coincides with Indigenous Round, a celebration of the contributions of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women and girls to Australian football. The theme for this year’s round, “Spirit Strong, Game On,” honors the resilience and enduring impact of Indigenous communities in the sport and society at large. Following their recent display in the 2024 Indigenous jumper during a home match, the GIANTS will revert to their traditional colors for this clash due to a scheduling conflict.
