AFLW Team Selection: Round 4

ROUND 3 brought plenty of drama and left some clubs still without a win to their name, forcing teams to make some changes heading into Round 4. After starring last round slotting a handful of goals and claiming the Rising Star Nomination, Courteney Munn will be missing from the Roos line-up having sustained a calf injury.

Collingwood has lost key player Ash Brazill who has not recovered from a concussion she suffered last round. Meanwhile, other players such as Mikala Cann, Ruby Schleicher and Holly Whitford have been omitted from the side, as the Pies continue to search for their first win of the season. A few big names are set to miss the weekend with Sarah Perkins out for the Crows along with youngster Chloe Scheer (suspended).

GWS is set to see the return of Nicola Barr who is making her way back into the side after her suspension. Aasta O’Connor is also set to pull on the hoops this week for Geelong, while Abbie McKay the daughter of Carlton great, Andrew is also set to make her debut. A number of others are set to debut in Round 4 with the likes of Taylah Davies, Jordan Hickey, Taylor Mesiti and Beth Lynch all named in their respective extended squads. Lynch, the the sister of Richmond’s Tom will bring plenty of excitement while Taylah Davies is another example of a cross-coder making her way from the netball court to the footy field.
