Giants reset their squad after Greene's departure to Geelong
Summary

Greater Western Sydney Giants are undergoing a squad reset following Toby Greene's recent announcement to leave for Geelong. Outgoing chief Dave Matthews stated the changes are significant but do not amount to a full rebuild. Greene's exit comes after the club also parted ways with veteran forward Jesse Hogan and Jake Stringer. Matthews noted that although the club is losing a key player, they are in a stable position and are considering further offers for contracted players Lachie Whitfield and Harry Himmelberg. Coniglio is expected to remain with the Giants for another season.
