CARLTON are on the road for the second time in a row this Saturday, with a clash at The Hangar on the cards.
The two sides have met before this season back in Round 3, where a very strong Bombers outfit were too strong at IKON Park.
The Blues will be looking to approve upon that performance alongside the one on Sunday, after the Hawks kept them to just a single point for the match.
After Maddi Wilson hyper-extended her knee at Box Hill, she will be set for a stint on the sidelines and in her place will be Jasmine Ware, who will be seeing her first minutes of the season.
The match will be a good chance for Carlton to measure the progress they have made since the early part of the season, while Essendon will want to continue to put pressure on ladder-leaders Casey Demons.
The game begins at 12pm on Saturday at The Hangar.
