James Kennedy became the first player at the club to rack up 50 senior men's appearances during Saturday's 54-point win over Bathurst Bushrangers Outlaws.

Kennedy developed his game as part of a talented junior class, who battled to be competitive in 2016's inaugural season but became some of the competition's danger men in 2019.

The Giants ruckman and vice-captain has only missed a couple of matches since the first year of play.

Kennedy battled hard over the course of the club's first season where the team won just a single game.

They bumped that tally up to five in 2017 (narrowly missing finals) before going down to eventual champions Orange Tigers in the preliminary final.

He's been proud to see the club develop to the point where they missed out on a grand final spot by just two points in 2018.

"I'm not one for personal milestones. It's just been great to have been a part of building up the club," he said.

"Being there from the days of being beaten by 200 points to now, where we're really competitive, has been awesome."

Kennedy said if there has been one key factor in the Giants' development he's witnessed it's been the commitment towards fostering juniors.

"The best part is seeing the kids who were 15 and 16-years-old when they first started playing who are now 18 and 19 and are killing it. That's been awesome to see," he said.

"The number one thing everybody in the Giants understands is that we're a junior club with senior footy teams.

"It means we can develop our juniors all on the same page, which means when they step up to first grade they've been playing the same game plan since day one.

"Without strong juniors you'll never have strong seniors.That's the nursery. That's where footballers are grown. Everyone in the Giants is on board with that.

"It's great seeing so many kids who want to play football these days."

Giants currently find themselves in the midst of one of the best finals battles the Central West AFL competition has seen.

They sit in third place with a four point break over the Dubbo Demons but even a minor premiership is still on the cards for the Giants.

"It's so good that there's five teams battling for four spots, and Cowra and Parkes could take a game off anybody at any time," Kennedy said.

"We found that out when we went over to Parkes. You can never be complacent against any team."

Giants men have a tough double coming up with games against top two sides Bathurst Bushrangers Rebels and Orange Tigers.

The top-placed senior women's team have a game against the Parkes Panthers before a huge meeting against the Tigers.
