The Western Bulldogs have made one change for their AFLW Indigenous Round clash with Hawthorn on Saturday night.
Analea McKee has been named for her first outing of the 2025 campaign, replacing Kaylee Kimber (injured) in the line-up.
McKee will start at centre-half forward alongside Elaine Grigg and Ellie Blackburn.
Dom Carruthers, Sarah Hartwig, Cleo Buttifant, Sarah Poustie and Ellie Gavalas make up the interchange bench.
The match will mark Gavalas’ 50th career game, following 41 games at North Melbourne and eight in the red, white and blue so far.
The Dogs will also debut their 2025 First Nations guernseys designed by Kamilya Lowana White, an Aboriginal artist born and raised in Narrm with Kija Bardi heritage on her Dad’s side, for the clash.
The guernsey honours the Bulldogs’ current AFL/W First Nations players and their teammates while also celebrating the Club’s reconciliation journey, with the meeting place symbol signifying the Club as a gathering point.
The first bounce will be at 7:15pm AEST on Saturday night at Mission Whitten Oval on Wurundjeri/Boon Wurrung country.
It will be broadcast live on 7Mate, Fox Footy and Kayo.
