A LONG pre-season is finally over.
The extended squad for Sunday’s clash has been announced, with the Blues naming their list of 23 for Sunday's inaugural clash with the Hawks, playing at Kinetic Stadium on Sunday 1 September at 1:05pm (AEST).
Senior Coach Mathew Buck confirmed Lulu Beatty’s selection earlier in the week, who missed last season due to injury, but has recovered well and showed promising signs in the VFLW and pre-season matches, with a number of other debutants up for selection.
Skipper Kerryn Peterson and veteran Jess Dal Pos could also be handy additions to the lineup, with the pair missing the last two games of 2023 and the pre-season clashes.
Maddy Guerin will return for her first outing at the highest level since midway through 2022 when she suffered an ACL injury that cut her season seven short.
The final team will be released Friday at 5:00pm.
