The AFLW teams are in, and the most speculated change of the week has occured in tonight’s team selection, with Collingwood’s Moana Hope making her way out of the round two side. But she is not the only one to sit out the match in Perth, with the Magpies making another three omissions to their side. In better news, coming into the line-up is Cranbourne recruit, Holly Whitford, a small forward who could help hand the Pies their first win of the season.

Erin Phillips could not recover fast enough from her quad injury to line up for the Crows this week, however, the club does receive a boost with their consistent star, Abbey Holmes returning to the Adelaide lineup.

However the news was not so good for young stars, Maddy Guerin and Sarah Dargan, who will sit on the sidelines for Melbourne and Collingwood, respectively.

Former Vic Metro representative, Georgia Gee gets another chance to prove her worth in navy blue, named as a midfielder in the Blues’ clash against the Giants.

But all eyes will once again be on the 2017 TAC Cup Best and Fairest joint-winner, Chloe Molloy. The Pies have trusted in their round one rising star nominee, slotting her into their half-back line to play in front of a sell-out crowd at Optus Stadium.
