GWS has moved into an 11-6 record to be among the group of nine clubs best placed to play finals in 2025.

It's set to be a tough finish to the year for the Bombers, who have lost six straight games and have been smashed by injuries.

The Dons have made six changes with Archie Perkins, Jade Gersham, Vigo Visentini, Dylan Shiel and Matt Guelfi coming in along with debutant Liam McMahon.

Will Setterfield (foot), Nic Martin (knee), Elijah Tsatas (hamstring) and Ben Hobbs (groin) are out injured, while Todd Goldstein and Nate Caddy are being managed.

With the Giants also off a five-day break, they are managing Jesse Hogan and Josh Kelly and have dropped Harvey Thomas, with Stephen Coniglio, Max Gruzewski and Toby McMullin coming in.
