CARLTON has named its team to run out onto Ikon Park in Saturday’s preliminary final.
The Blues have made one change, recalling Jess Edwards to the line-up to take on Fremantle.
Edwards played the first five games of the season uninterrupted, averaging 10 disposals and three tackles in her first season. Abbie McKay makes way, having been omitted.

Tayla Harris and Darcy Vescio have been named to lead the line up forward.
It’s a familiar defensive set-up for the Blues, with Kerryn Harrington, Gab Pound, Nicola Stevens, Jayde Van Dyk and impressive youngster Charlotte Wilson once again named to hold down the fort.
In-form captain Brianna Davey has been named on the wing in what is Carlton’s most important match in its short AFLW history. Saturday’s game begins at 2:45pm, with entry free for all fans.
