GWS playmaker Ryan Angwin says his teammates intend to let the handbrake go and run Collingwood off their feet as they seek to get their AFL campaign back on track.

The Giants have faltered over the last fortnight, beaten handsomely by the Western Bulldogs before falling short in a comeback against St Kilda.

It has left Adam Kingsley’s men behind the eight-ball ahead of another huge test against the Magpies at Marvel Stadium on Friday night.

Angwin acknowledged GWS had drifted from their trademark in recent outings, but said they took positives from last week’s second half.

GWS have battled a significant injury list early in the season but could regain Brent Daniels and Toby Bedford this week.

Tagger Bedford looms as a likely match-up for Nick Daicos after putting the clamps on the Pies superstar last time they met.

“He just loves to embrace the challenge and go against the best players in the league,” Angwin said.

“Trying to keep them quiet and take them out of the game is something that he loves to do.”

Both sides have selected debutants, with Collingwood ruckman Oscar Steene and GWS teen utility Ollie Hannaford named for their first AFL games.
