The team is in for the Round 4 clash with North Melbourne — and there’s another Blue debut.
There will be another fresh face on Sunday, as Poppy Schaap makes her AFLW debut, with last week's debutants Keeley Sherar and Brooke Vickers also retaining their places in the line-up.
Becoming the 70th Game Changer in total since 2017, Schaap is an energetic youngster who was rewarded with Carlton’s final spot on the list after a promising 2021 NAB League season for the Geelong Falcons.
The Game Changers will also welcome back Charlotte Wilson to the fold for her first game this season, after she missed the first three games due to a combination of AFL Health and Safety Protocols and injury.
Topping the marks for the Blues last season and playing all nine games, Wilson’s absence has been felt in the defensive half: her return will look to ease the loss of Gab Pound, who will miss due to AFL Health and Safety Protocols.
Jess Good will also miss this game, but Breann Moody still tops the competition for most hitouts and was able to shoulder the load despite the absence of her ruck partner last week.
Taking on North Melbourne at their home ground in IKON Park, the Game Changers will be looking to bounce back following their trip to Queensland against the reigning premiers on Tuesday.
Should the Blues get back on the winner’s list on the back of a five-day break, they’ll need to keep their composure and make the most of their opportunities going forward against the Roos.
Sunday’s game will commence at 3:10pm, after initially being fixtured for a 1:10pm start.
