Carlton women’s player Natalie Plane will be sidelined for the remainder of the AFLW season, after suffering an injury in the Round 1 victory over Collingwood.
The midfielder suffered a high-grade ankle sprain during the historic opening game of the AFLW season at Ikon Park on Friday night.
Tahni Nestor will come into the side as a top-up player, with women’s senior coach Damien Keeping praising the 25-year-old’s versatility on field.
“While it is very disappointing to lose Natalie with a season-ending injury, we now welcome Tahni into the side as a top-up player.
"Tahni has a fierce thirst for the contest and is a neat kick. Tahni’s openness to learning will ensure she fits with the culture of our playing group.”
The 25-year-old comes in to the side from Ballarat, after transferring to the Eastern Devils and playing in the VFL last year.
