Renee Saulitis returns to the line-up, while Leah Swain and Emmalyn Nekrep have been recalled, ready to make an impact at home.
Keeley Hardingham and Cleo Buttifant will feature in Saturday’s AFLW practice match in Perth, making them unavailable for this match, while Paula Pavic has been omitted.
With the first bounce scheduled for 7:05PM AEST at Mission Whitten Oval, the Dogs will be eager to harness their momentum cap off their 2025 campaign on a positive note.
