Giants to play it safe on Hogan despite successful return

The Giants' prized recruit had his first competitive hitout for his new club against Sydney's VFL team in a practice match on Friday, getting through the game unscathed and impressing the GWS coaching staff with how he performed.

The 26-year-old played more than 80 minutes and showed no signs of the quad injury that struck him down in late February, moving well throughout the match and covering plenty of ground.
