3. Defining Period

The opening stages of the season for the Giants will be massive. They need to start well to keep the belief alive amongst supporters, their first four games are also against teams that will be in or around that crucial 8th spot.

They open their season against the Saints before they travel to WA to take on the Dockers and finish off their opening month against Melbourne and Collingwood.

They can be no worse then 2-2 out of thisย  period and will be hoping to use that opening month as a springboard into their season.
