ROUND 4 AFLW MATCH-DAY INFORMATION
Ellyse Gamble will also run out in the red, white and blue for the first time since sustaining a syndesmosis injury in January 2018.
The Bulldogs will be looking to get back on the winners’ list after a disappointing loss to newcomers North Melbourne in Tasmania last week, while Brisbane were defeated by 39 points at the hands of the Melbourne Demons.
20-year-old Karlson was selected by the Club at pick 34 in the 2018 NAB AFLW Draft after enjoying a strong VFL season with the Southern Saints.
