GIANTS vice-captain Stephen Coniglio has been ruled out of Saturday’s Toyota AFL Grand Final.

Coniglio did everything he could to prove his fitness at Wednesday’s main training session but ultimately he has decided he can’t take his place on Saturday.



GIANTS General Manager of Football Wayne Campbell said:

“This is a selfless decision by Stephen and typical of the man he is.



“He left it all on the training track today and ultimately he decided he doesn’t think he is capable of playing out the whole game and therefore didn’t want to let his team mates down.



“His decision has the full support of everyone and we know he’ll continue to support the team to the best of his ability as he has over the past 10 weeks.”
