Debutant Isabelle Pritchard will be the only change to the AFLW Bulldogs’ line-up in their battle against the ladder-leaders Collingwood on Sunday afternoon.
The 18-year-old was delivered the news via a phone call from head coach Nathan Burke on Thursday afternoon, before being announced to the playing group and staff at Friday night’s training session.
Pritchard comes in for the injured Deanna Berry, who suffered an ACL injury in last weekend’s 25-point win over GWS.
Britney Gutknecht and Gemma Lagioia have been named the emergencies.
The AFLW Bulldogs will look to add to their four-game winning streak on Sunday afternoon against the Pies – who are yet to be defeated this season.
If the Bulldogs are successful on Sunday, it will be their longest winning streak in Club history.
The match will be broadcast live on Channel 7, with the first bounce at 2.40pm at Victoria Park.
Score updates will also be available via @BulldogsW on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
All the information you need to know ahead of the game can be found in our round six match preview.
