The 2026 AFLW squad will have the opportunity to test their pre-season preparations against Hawthorn in their first match simulation tomorrow morning.
The majority of the squad will feature in the hit-out, which is scheduled for a 10am start at the Kennedy Community Centre in Dingley.
Newly-appointed co-captains Isabelle Pritchard and Deanna Berry will lead the side, while off-season recruit Mikala Cann will run around in the red, white and blue for the first time.
Brit Gutknecht and Issy Grant will also take part, fresh off penning contract extensions in recent weeks.
While tomorrow's match simulation will not be streamed, Bulldogs members and fans will have an opportunity to see the squad up close next Friday afternoon in their second match simulation against Geelong at home.
