The VFLW Bulldogs will continue getting game-time into some of their AFLW players, with Jess Fitzgerald one of six changes to this weekend’s team.

Fitzgerald is one of four senior-listed players to feature, with recruits Jasmyn Smith and Analea McKee to make their VFLW red, white and blue debuts.

Mua Laloifi will return to the line-up for the first time since her AFLW career with Carlton.

Jaimi Tabb and Isadora McLeay have also been added back to the line-up.

Maggie Gorham and Sarah Hartwig come out through injury, Courtney Ugle and Jaime Henry have been managed, and Mali McLeod and Emmalyn Nekrep have been omitted.

The Bulldogs will look to make it consecutive wins when they host the Hawks from 2.30pm on Sunday 5 May at Mission Whitten Oval. 

The match will be live-streamed via afl.com.au/vflw for those who can’t make it, with game-day updates also available via @BulldogsW on X (Twitter).

Prior to the VFLW, the VFL Bulldogs will play at the same venue. The first bounce will be at 11.05am AEST.
