Brothers Chris (University Blacks) and Jeremy (Adelaide) Duck, Thurgoona premiership player Tim Madden and talented Lavington youngster Kai Davies have joined the Giants.

Tom Plunkett and Mason Collins are also back at the Hume league club.

Coach Myles Aalbers said the Giants were keen to build on this year’s top-six finish.

“It’s looking promising,” Aalbers said.

“We have picked up some good players and are still talking to another couple.

“Some of our younger blokes really stood up this year and they are only going to get better as well.

“We have kept our list together which is pleasing.”

The Giants upset Henty in this year’s elimination final.
