Greater Western Sydney entered foreign waters in 2022, slumping to 16th on the AFL ladder with a dismal 6 wins alongside their name, a position of uncharted territory in recent years.
With last season offering little to cheer about for the Orange army, attention swiftly turned to the draft in welcoming prized No.1 pick Aaron Cadman, along with a host of young top-end talent.
As Cadman, a GWV Rebels product, joined teammates at Olympic Park, a mass exodus of stars wound up Victorian bound, after the trade period was responsible for the departure of a core group.
The Giants, who finished 6-16 last year, continually place youth high on their agenda as they slowly work back into premiership contention, heading into their 12th season in the AFL.
Heading into what shapes as a long season for the Giants, we've asked the five burning questions surrounding the club ahead of their 2023 campaign.
4. How does Adam Kingsley fare in his debut year sitting at the helm?
Newly appointed head coach Adam Kingsley will be firmly under the microscope heading into season 2022, with the former Richmond assistant set to be tested after winning the job in August.
With the Giants entering a transitional period under Kingsley, the clubs fresh faced direction looks promising with an entirely new-look coaching group surrounding the 47-year-old in his first year.
Jeremy Laidler is set to be in charge of the forwards, Ben Hart arrives as the midfield coach, whilst Brett Montgomery leads the backline group and Jason Mcartney sits in the head of football role.
Kingsley takes over from Leon Cameron who remained in the top job for 8 seasons, after a mutual decision to step down between him and the board ended his tenure in charge at the Giants.
