DYLAN Shiel will captain a near full-strength Greater Western Sydney side in tonight's JLT Community Series clash against North Melbourne at the newly renamed UNSW Canberra Oval. 

Injured veteran Brett Deledio (calf) and young midfielder Jacob Hopper, who played his first game in a reserves practice match against the Swans in Sydney this afternoon, are the only players missing from the Giants' best 22.

Attacking defender Nathan Wilson is back in the side to strengthen the GWS backline after he was rested against the Swans last week. 

Rookies Tendai Mzungu and Sam Reid have dropped from the squad, along with ruckman Dawson Simpson. 

The Kangaroos have also opted to leave some youth on the sidelines, with Corey Wagner (four senior games), Sam Durdin (yet to debut) and Declan Mountford (yet to debut) dropped from their original squad.

Tough midfielder Ben Cunnington is likely to play plenty of minutes against the Giants, given he's suspended for North's opening game of the regular season against West Coast at Etihad Stadium.
