NEW FACES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The Giants are blooding four new faces today. Draftee Kaitlyn Srhoj<\/a> will line up alongside Irish recruit Eilish O’Dowd<\/a>, former Sun Claire Ransom<\/a> and former Lion Mikayla Pauga<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile the Bulldogs have eight new faces. Lauren Ahrens<\/a>, Jasmyn Smith<\/a>, Analea McKee<\/a> and Ellie Gavalas<\/a> will all make their club debuts alongside draftees Cleo Buttifant<\/a>, Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner<\/a>, Brooke Barwick<\/a> and Elaine Grigg<\/a> who will make their league debuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LAST TIME THESE SIDES MET<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These two sides have not actually met since opening round of Season 7, and that day it was the Bulldogs who emerged with a seven point win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Giants briefly led early, but once the Bulldogs got going the Giants just could not quite keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KEY MATCH UP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Any success starts in the midfield, and Alyce Parker<\/a> and Ellie Blackburn<\/a> are two players that their respective clubs just could not function without. They are so pivotal to getting the first clearance for their respective sides, so if one has a quiet day the other side will get a huge boost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW FACES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Both sides have four new faces today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For Essendon club debutants Maddison Gay<\/a> and Bess Keaney<\/a> will be joined by league debutants Emily Gough<\/a> and Amy Gaylor<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Meanwhile for Fremantle Ash Brazill<\/a>, Gabrielle Newton<\/a> and Aisling McCarthy<\/a> will all make their club debuts, while Tunisha Kikoak<\/a> will cap off a crazy few months by making her league debut.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LAST TIME THESE SIDES MET<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The last time these two sides met was back in Round 4 last season, and that day it was the Bombers who came away with a 20-point win.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Essendon really kicked away as the matched progressed and the Dockers simply just could not keep up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KEY MATCH UP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is going to be a big day for Aisling McCarthy<\/a>. On club debut today for the Dockers, she is likely to be the one that has to fill the hole left by Kiara Bowers<\/strong> in Fremantle\u2019s midfield so a lot of pressure will be on her shoulders today. What will make things harder for her too is that she will likely have Madison Prespakis<\/a> for company, who will be working just as hard to get that clearance out for her team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

NEW FACES<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Gold Coast has a mix of club and league debutants tonight. Draftees Kiara Bischa<\/a> and Annabel Kievit<\/a> will be debuting alongside Katie Lynch<\/a>, Charlotte Wilson<\/a> and Ella Smith<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
On the other side of the equation St Kilda have only three new faces. Charlotte Simpson<\/a> is the only league debutant of the trio though, and she will be joined by Rene Caris<\/a> and Paige Trudgeon<\/a> in running out in Saints colours for the first time today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
LAST TIME THESE SIDES MET<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
These two last met back in Round 4 last year, and that day it was the Suns who emerged victorious to the tune of 14 points. St Kilda did hold the lead briefly early, but then stopped scoring in the middle two quarters as the Suns kicked away.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
<\/p>\n\n\n\n
KEY MATCH UP<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Although the Suns have a lot of good forward targets, arguably their most dangerous is Jamie Stanton<\/a>, who is a strong marker but also sneaky. Hannah Priest<\/a> may just be the one that cops that big job and is assigned to shut Stanton down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
