The Western Bulldogs have recalled Nell Morris-Dalton for their round eight battle against Adelaide at Norwood Oval on Sunday afternoon.
The 19-year-old has featured in two of the three Bulldogs’ VFLW matches so far, pushing her case for selection with strong performances up forward.
She last featured at AFLW level in round three against Geelong, and has played four career matches to date.
Morris-Dalton is the sole change, and comes in for Dani Marshall who has been named as an emergency.
Speedster Kirsten McLeod was cleared of concussion and will start at half-forward alongside Izzy Huntington and Gabby Newton.
The AFLW Bulldogs will be looking to bounce back from an 11-point loss to North Melbourne last Saturday, and are currently sitting in seventh spot on the ladder with a 4-3 record.
The top six teams will progress to the 2021 AFLW finals series.
The match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy, with the first bounce at 4.10pm AEDT on Sunday.
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 eight match preview.
