    AFLW Team | Round 2

    The Western Bulldogs have made one change for their round two AFLW match

    The Western Bulldogs have made one change for their round two AFLW match, with Elisabeth Georgostathis lining up for her first match of AFLW Season Seven.

    Georgostathis missed the opening round through injury, but has been cleared to play and will start on the bench against Port Adelaide.

    She comes in at the expense of Nell Morris-Dalton.

    Round one debutants Rylie Wilcox, Heidi Woodley and Daisy Bateman have retained their spots, set to start on the wing, half-forward flank and interchange respectively.

    Gabby Newton will again line up at full-forward, while Katie Lynch and Eleanor Brown will hold down the fort as full-backs.

    Alice Edmonds will start as the number one ruck, alternating with Celine Moody who will start on the bench.

    The match will mark the first meeting between the two sides, in expansion side Port Adelaide’s first home AFLW game.

    The first bounce will be at 1.10pm ACST (1.40pm AEST) at Alberton Oval tomorrow afternoon.

    Fox Footy will broadcast the match live, with score updates also available via @BulldogsW on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

    AFLW R2 Report: Dogs spoil Port's house party

    The Western Bulldogs have crashed Port Adelaide's party with a 19-point win at a sold-out Alberton Oval.

    A sickening leg injury suffered by Brit Gutknecht has overshadowed the Western Bulldogs' party-crashing 19-point win over Port Adelaide at a sold-out Alberton Oval.

    With 1:36 remaining in the first half on Saturday, the lower part of Gutknecht's right leg fractured after Abbey Dowrick's attempted smother.

    Play was halted for 31 minutes while Gutknecht, in obvious agony, was attended to by trainers, medicos and paramedics before eventually being taken to hospital via ambulance.

    Bulldogs coach Nathan Burke, captain Ellie Blackburn and other teammates consoled Gutknecht's parents who were in attendance.

    Gutknecht had been playing well before the injury, which meant the second term lasted almost 50 minutes from siren to siren.

    The Bulldogs went on to win 3.10 (28) to 1.3 (9).

    00:21

    The Dogs were comfortably the better side in the first half, owning distinct advantages in disposals (106-78) and inside 50s (17-6), but their 1.7 conversion kept the Power in the hunt.

    Blackburn, after a quiet start, had a major influence with her playmaking, while Kirsty Lamb and Isabelle Pritchard were busy.

    Amid the flurry of Dogs misses, Richelle Cranston converted a free kick early in the second stanza, which was matched at the other end when Gemma Houghton, who nailed the Power's historic maiden AFLW goal last week against West Coast, snapped Port's first major at Alberton.

    It was their only moment of joy for the day.

    Blackburn's nifty hands then set up Celine Moody's major as the Bulldogs pushed ahead by 10 points at three-quarter time.

    00:41

    Gabby Newton's contested marking in attack was a feature of the fourth quarter, dominated completely by the visitors.

    The Power gave away numerous free kicks towards the end and failed to enter their attacking 50 for the entire term as the Dogs continued to press home their advantage, only their inaccuracy in front of the sticks preventing a percentage pile-on.

    The Bulldogs host Fremantle at IKON Park on Friday, as they look to make it three from three.
