The Western Bulldogs' ruck stocks will be bolstered for this Saturday's match against Carlton with the return of Aasta O'Connor to the side to face Carlton on Saturday morning.
The 182 cm follower was a late withdrawal from the team which was defeated by Collingwood at VU Whitten Oval last Saturday night.
Joining O'Connor will be inside midfielder Romy Timmins, who will be playing her second AFLW match after debuting for the Bulldogs in the round 2 encounter with Adelaide.
With the Bulldogs still a mathematical chance of playing off in the inaugural AFLW Grand Final, Saturday morning's match at Ikon Park looms as a must-win affair.
