Geelong has made two changes for their Thursday night blockbuster against Melbourne, with Julia Crockett-Grills and Abbey McDonald both set to make their return in Round 5.
Crockett-Grills returns after missing the Port Adelaide clash through suspension, with the Cats winger looking to continue her strong early season form.
The 28-year-old was particularly dominant in the opening round win over the Bulldogs, and will add valuable experience to the Geelong side ahead of a big clash with the Demons.
McDonald has earned her recall to the starting line-up, selected for the third game of her young AFLW career.
The 19-year-old was a standout during Geelong’s pre-season, impressing the coaching staff and being awarded her AFLW debut in the first round.
Rachel Kearns will miss the game with a knee soreness as the Club takes a conservative approach, while Brooke Plummer is the other Cat to make way.
The match will be streamed on the official AFLW App and website, while also being broadcast on Fox Footy and Kayo. First bounce is at 6:15pm at GMHBA Stadium, with tickets available through Ticketmaster.
