The Western Bulldogs will hand Emmalyn Nekrep her maiden VFLW guernsey when she debuts against Geelong on Saturday afternoon.
Nekrep will start on the interchange bench, and is one of three changes for the round five clash.
India Barker and Kiara Henry also return to the side, named on the half-forward flank and interchange respectively.
The trio comes into the side in exchange for Mali McLeod, Jaimi Tabb and Trinity Skenderis.
Tahlia Meier will be looking to impact yet again, fresh off earning seven coaches’ votes last week to remain in second place overall (five votes behind overall leader Jess Bates from Collingwood).
Captain Mary Sandral has been named at full-forward, while Tarrah Delgado starts at full-back.
The first bounce tomorrow will be at midday at Deakin University Waurn Ponds, with the match to be live-streamed via afl.com.au/vflw.
Score updates will also be available via @BulldogsW on Twitter.
