The Giants have extended the deals of key defenders Lachie Plowman and Tim Mohr for another two years till the end of 2016 and now have their sights on big names Jeremy Cameron, Adam Treloar, Stephen Coniglio, Nick Haynes and Devon Smith.

The rush to secure deals for the Giants stars isn't pressing with all of the quintet mentioned signed on until the end of next year but with Melbourne clubs circling GWS are keen to secure them as soon as possible and so is Plowman.

BLUES WANT FAVOURITE SON BACK

"It would be good to see these guys recommit," Plowman told the Daily Telegraph.

"The club is heading in the right direction. Over the last few weeks we've shown we can turn it around. Hopefully those guys can jump on board which would be great for the club."

Plowman was drafted with pick three in the 2012 draft and is looking to build on his six games last year and the five he's played so far this season. Serious injuries to key defenders Phil Davis, Tim Mohr and Nick Haynes has made the 19 year old's job a lot harder at he tries to find a foothold in the AFL.

"It's been pretty hard for some of us young defenders playing on key forwards but it's good to get Phil Davis and Tim Mohr back. Heath Shaw and Josh Hunt have really helped us as well and have given us the confidence to know we can lock down forwards when we need to."

Plowman has been encouraged by the way the team responded to their 100 point plus thrashings and the hands of West Coast and Richmond.

"We're only a young club we're still developing and the matches against Hawthorn and Essendon in the last couple of weeks have shown we can match it with big clubs," Plowman said.

"It's been tough the first two years but I've tried to learn as much from I can from the senior players.

"I'm still trying to get stronger in the gym and get a bit fitter so I can work further up the ground. I still need to work on my skills and decision making as well."

The Giants have named one of their strongest teams this year for Saturday night's vital match against Brisbane at the Gabba. Star forward Jeremy Cameron is back from suspension and Phil Davis returns from a kidney injury, along with experienced defender Josh Hunt and talented number two draft pick Josh Kelly.

Davis has made an amazing recover from his round one kidney injury which saw hospitalised in intensive care for eight days.

For his efforts he will have the job on veteran Lions forward Jonathon Brown.
