The Western Bulldogs will hand Ellie Bishop a VFLW debut, while welcoming back two key players for Saturday’s clash against Carlton.
Bishop was added to the Bulldogs’ development list from Ainslie, and has been named on the interchange bench for her maiden match.
Kate McCarthy and Mali McLeod will also return for the red, white and blue, at the expense of Roxy Beuzeville (injured), Isabella Robson and Kyla Tracey.
Ruck Jorja Borg will look to add to her league-leading stats, ranking first across the competition for total hit-outs (213), and will be supported by Dominique Carbone and Sarah Skinner at the starting centre bounce.
Kiera Whiley has retained her spot in the line-up, following last week’s debut.
The match will be live-streamed via afl.com.au/vflw, with score updates also available via @BulldogsW on Twitter.
Entry to 2023 rebel VFLW matches is free.
