Ahead of their clash with the SUNS at Metricon Stadium on Saturday, the GWS Giants have made just two changes.

Star midfielder Dylan Shiel won’t make the trip north due to a groin issue while defender Adam Kennedy had been omitted.

Shiel is a big loss for the Giants, but is replaced by the former No.1 draft pick Lachie Whitfield who has missed recent weeks due to illness.

Nick Hayne joins the back-six to replace Kennedy after being forced out of last round with gastro.

Saturday’s clash also marks Jon Patton’s 50th AFL game.
