The team is in for Geelong’s Round 4 clash against St Kilda at RSEA Park on Friday night.
The Cats have made one change to the side that went down to the Dogs by 15 points with Laura Gardiner named to make her AFLW debut.
Gardiner will become the fifth Cat to make their AFLW debut this year and replaces defender Bec Goring in the 21-person side.
Gardiner joined the Cats in 2020 via the AFLW draft where she was selected with the 20th pick overall.
The 18-year-old is a product of the highly successful Geelong Falcons pathway and will be one of five Falcons named in the Cats’ lineup.
Friday’s clash against the Saints will commence at 7.10pm AEDT.
