The VFLW Cats have made five changes for their clash with the Western Bulldogs on Friday night.
Coming into the side is reigning best and fairest winner Hayley Peck, along with Simone Nalder who returns for her first game post-pregnancy.
The Cats will also have two debutants with Sophie Nolan and Jayde Morrissy set to pull on the Hoops for the first time, while Madi Sexton rounds out the inclusions.
Jo Sunderland, Olivia Woods, Faith Qoon, Maddison Cotten and Jenna Hurring have all been omitted.
