Mia Skinner will return to the Cats' line-up to take on Western Bulldogs at Mars Stadium on Saturday.

The Cats are taking a largely steady line-up into the clash off the back of arguably one of their best performances in the team's four-year history, with the only forced change coming with Georgie Prespakis suspended for two matches for rough conduct (dangerous tackle).

After a brilliant return to attack which yielded three goals last week, Shelley Scott has been named to start the match on the half-forward line, with Georgie Rankin named in the starting five for defence, and fellow defender Maddy Keryk retaining her spot in the side.

Brooke Plummer is set to play her second game in the hoops after a promising debut last week, and the versatile Julia Crockett-Grills has been named in the centre line.

First bounce is 2.10pm Saturday at Mars Stadium in Ballarat. The match will be broadcast live on Fox Footy, and can be streamed through womens.afl and the official AFL Women’s and AFL Live apps.
