The Western Bulldogs have named a debutant ahead of Friday night’s clash with Carlton, with forward Kim Rennie set to debut during the inaugural AFLW Pride Game at VU Whitten Oval.
Rennie, a former basketballer, was initially signed to the club as a Rookie in June last year and was recently upgraded to the primary list.
She is one of three changes to coach Paul Groves’ side following the Bulldogs’ loss to the Crows in Adelaide last weekend.
Match Information: Dogs v Blues
Standing at 185cm, Rennie’s height and athleticism will add to the Dogs’ forward line which will be without
captain Katie Brennan who is sidelined with an ankle injury.
Kirsten McLeod and Laura Bailey will play their first match of the 2018 season after returning to the Bulldogs’ line-up, while Deanna Berry and Jess Anderson have been omitted.
The Bulldogs face the Blues at VU Whitten Oval at 7.05pm tomorrow night.
