Giants delist former first-round pick after six seasons

GWS has parted ways with former No.15 pick Conor Stone

GREATER Western Sydney has delisted defender Conor Stone after 30 AFL games in six seasons.

The No.15 pick in the 2020 draft, Stone dealt with several injury setbacks during his time at the Giants and 2026 was the first time he played 10 or more games in a season.

WHO'S CALLED IT QUITS 2026's retirements and delistings

A versatile tall who can play at either end of the ground, the 24-year-old was drafted out of the Oakleigh Chargers.

He was delisted at the end of last season but picked up again in the rookie draft.

Stone's exit adds to the list turnover at GWS this off-season, with veterans Toby Greene, Lachie Whitfield, Jesse Hogan and Jake Stringer as well as ruckman Kieren Briggs all moving on.

"Conor has been a valued member of our program over the past six seasons and has always shown a strong commitment to his football, his teammates and the club," Giants football manager Jason McCartney said.

"He's shown his versatility across a number of roles and had some strong performances at VFL level, highlighted by being named our VFL Player of the Year in 2024.

"While we've made the decision to move in a different direction, we're grateful for Conor's contribution to the club and wish him all the best for whatever comes next in his football career."
