The Greater Western Victoria Rebels junior will make her AFLW debut.


Thursday 7 February

The Cats have welcomed back two big inclusions for their round two AFLW clash against the Western Bulldogs at Victoria University Whitten Oval on Saturday at 7.15pm.

Forward Phoebe McWilliams will make her debut for Geelong after she was a late withdrawal against Collingwood last week.

Prior to injuring her hamstring at training, McWilliams had a red-hot pre-season with her four-goal performance in a practice match against Carlton a highlight.

The former Giant will be joined by Erin Hoare, who returns from a foot injury and will play her first match since the VFL Elimination Final against NT Thunder.

Both teams will enter the match in winning form after they won their respective round one matches against Collingwood and Adelaide respectively.

Premiership ruck Aasta O’Connor will face her former team for the first time as they unfurl the 2018 premiership flag.
