JAMES Leake, a first-round pick in 2023, will make his debut for Greater Western Sydney against Collingwood on Sunday, while the Magpies will unveil their two recruits.

Leake, 19, has been rewarded after an impressive second summer at the Giants, following a strong showing against Carlton in the AAMI Community Series.

After GWS lost Harry Perryman and Isaac Cumming to free agency and James Peatling during the Trade Period, Leake has grabbed his chance and will now play in Opening Round.

Perryman will line up against his former club in his first game in Collingwood colours.

Tim Membrey, who was named on the extended bench on Thursday, has also been included.

The Giants are without injured stars Jesse Hogan, Tom Green and Jake Stringer.

GWS has also named small forward Darcy Jones despite an injury scare at training on Friday.

"He just rolled his ankle in one of the drills we were doing so we'll see how he pulls up," Giants coach Adam Kingsley said. 

"I think he'll be OK, but we'll just monitor him obviously."

Kingsley also confirmed Toby Bedford would look to contain Pies star Nick Daicos.

"I would think that's likely. Nick's probably the best player in the competition so he's an outstanding player, he's a great contributor to the way they want to play, he's super important to them so he's certainly one that we'll look very closely at," he said.

"Toby's the obvious one to go to him."
