Former Tigers and Giants star Brett Deledio says GWS are "very well placed" to overcome last year's Grand Final loss and win the club's first-ever premiership in 2020.
Speaking on SEN Breakfast on Monday, Deledio says the star quality around the ground and the club's strong leadership will make the Giants a strong contender once the season resumes.
"They are very well placed (to make the Grand Final and go one better),โ Deledio said.
โI think they are led extremely well by Stephen Coniglio and heโs also got Phil (Davis) and Wardy (Callan Ward) โฆ those three guys as well as few others in the leadership group really lead the side well under Leon (Cameron).
โIt stung them last year, I saw it firsthand what it was like โฆ theyโre as good as any side I think in terms of their star power โฆ and I think the 16-minute quarters will only suit them more.
โIโll be very surprised if they werenโt there, put it that way.
โThey do want to achieve something, and theyโve got a bit of a chip on their shoulder in terms of how they feel the rest of the competition looks at them, the young upstarts that have been given everything, so they definitely take that personally.โ
GWS will resume their season when they face North Melbourne at Giants Stadium on Sunday June 14
