Western Bulldogs defender Lauren Spark has been added to the Victorian NAB AFL Women’s State of Origin squad as one of three changes made ahead of the September 2 clash.
Spark is joined by Collingwood duo Sarah D’Arcy and Moana Hope as additions, while fellow Bulldog Hannah Scott, as well as Lauren Pearce, Jasmine Grierson have all withdrawn due to injury.
The NAB AFL Women’s State of Origin match will be broadcast live nationally on the Seven Network and Fox Footy. Entry to the match will be free of charge.
The match between Victoria and the Allies will be played during the Celebration of Football Week at 7.40pm on Saturday, September 2 at Etihad Stadium.
The State of Origin squads were initially based on the 2017 Virgin Australia AFL Women’s All Australian squad. Selection is based on where a player is born, not which state they are currently playing in.
