GWS star Callaghan out for a month, TDK return looms
GWS midfielder Finn Callaghan will be out of AFL action for at least a month, as question marks remain over when Stephen Coniglio will return. But Carlton star Tom De Koning (larynx) headlines four returning Blues for the Giants clash at Marvel Stadium. Callaghan was hurt in a collision with Fremantle's Patrick Voss on the three-quarter time siren in the Giants' home defeat. The 22-year-old ball-winner has avoided surgery, but could still spend six weeks on the sidelines. Coniglio's return to play from a glute complaint has been pushed back again to four weeks after being listed as a test against Fremantle. The 31-year-old midfielder will meet with a specialist after struggling to meet his training re-load demands. He has been sidelined since round four and was originally slated to miss just one week. Fellow Giants midfielder Toby McMullin also suffered an injury against the Dockers, but is expected to miss only one week with adductor irritation. De Koning, meanwhile, is likely to return alongside Blake Acres (shoulder), Lachie Fogarty (hamstring) and Orazio Fantasia (calf) for the Blues. Elsewhere, Collingwood captain Darcy Moore (shoulder) and fellow defender Dan Houston (calf) will have to prove their fitness later in the week. Dion Prestia (achilles) will be available to play in Richmond's Dreamtime clash against Essendon, while the Bombers are primed to welcome back forward Jade Gresham (adductor). Bombers midfielder Darcy Parish is set to make his return from a calf complaint via the VFL. Brisbane are tossing up resting ruck Oscar McInerney again, while midfielder Jarrod Berry will be a chance to line up against Hawthorn after recovering from a concussion. McInerney (soreness) was a late out from their eventual loss to Melbourne. The Lions are hopeful defender Brandon Starcevich will make his return from a concussion within three to five weeks. Starcevich suffered the concussion in round one and will move into full training over the next weeks. Gold Coast forward Elliot Himmelberg's season is over after he ruptured his anterior cruciate ligament in the VFL. He was one of three casualties from the reserves match, joined by ruck Max Knobel (foot) and forward Lloyd Johnston (concussion). North Melbourne defender Darcy Tucker has also suffered a season-ending injury and will require back surgery.

Giants young gun rejects rival's huge offer to recommit
Rising AFL star Finn Callaghan has shown his faith in the flag-chasing Greater Western Sydney after signing a four-year contract extension. The highly-rated midfielder will be with the Giants until at least the end of the 2029 season after resisting overtures to return to his Victorian home. Off-contract at the end of this season, the 21-year-old reportedly turned down a monster $17 million, 10-year deal from St Kilda to remain in NSW. "Finn has shown over his first three seasons that he's an immense young talent in this competition and we are rapt to sign him to a new four-year deal," football boss Jason McCartney said in a club statement. "A player of Finn's talent and age meant there was always going to be huge immense interest from other clubs and it's fantastic that he's re-committed to the club as we see him as a huge piece of our future. "Finn can see the bright future of the club under Adam Kingsley and wants to be part of the success that we strongly believe is on the horizon." "Enjoy the cash." 😂 — GWS GIANTS (@GWSGIANTS) February 23, 2025 Callaghan has been instrumental for the Giants in the engine room alongside Tom Green, averaging 23 disposals, 3.6 tackles, and 3.4 clearances per game last year - his third season at AFL level. He is the latest in a long line of GWS stars - including Jesse Hogan, Brent Daniels, Aaron Cadman and Sam Taylor - to sign contract extensions. Left burning after a straight-set finals exit, GWS will kick off their 2025 season by hosting Collingwood at Engie Stadium on March 9.
