GWS Giants skipper Ryan Hebron joins State of Play after his side's come-from-behind win at Casey Fields.

Sitting 16th on the ladder at Round 11, the Giants have surged back into finals contention with five wins from their past six matches.

They include victories over fierce rival Sydney, reigning premier Gold Coast Suns and, at the weekend, a come-from-behind win over Casey Demons at Casey Fields having trailed by four goals during the third term of a low-scoring affair.

Hebron chats to Gemma Bastiani and Joe Pignataro about the weekend's rousing victory, where young forward Max Gruzewski led the way with five goals.

He also details his journey to the Giants, who he has captained in all three seasons since the club joined the VFL in 2021, and looks ahead to this week's huge clash with the Box Hill Hawks as the club looks to keep its finals hopes alive.
