TARNI Brown will run out in the Navy Blue for the first time in Week 2.

Brown has fit in seamlessly at IKON Park since her arrival in the off-season, showcasing her forward pressure, her speed and sharp shooting in front of goal.

Marianna Anthony will return to the line-up, providing run and carry between the arcs, but Maddy Hendrie will miss due to illness.

Ciara Fitzgerald has been omitted.

Keeley Skepper has been cleared of injury and named up forward, with Darcy Vescio - who featured on a wing last weekend - also named in attack.

The Blues will take on the Suns at Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay on Sunday 8 September at 1:05pm.
