ONCE again, multiple changes across all teams makes for an interesting round of football in the Victorian Football League (VFL) Women\u2019s competition. Young guns continue to re-emerge following their Under 18 championship commitments, while plenty of AFLW talents cycle through the teams. All in all, this makes for yet another exciting round of women\u2019s football, kicking off with Carlton v Richmond on Saturday morning.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Carlton vs Richmond Darcy Vescio<\/strong>\u00a0returns this week for the Blues when they take on Richmond at Ikon Park. She will be an important inclusion this week and hopefully her goal sense and expertise on the field will get Carlton across the line. This AFLW veteran comes in alongside the equally experienced ruck,\u00a0Alison Downie\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0AFLW defender,\u00a0Kerryn Harrington<\/strong>. The young line-up of\u00a0Bailey Schultz, Isabella Gietzmann, Jorga Borg<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Rene Caris<\/strong>\u00a0headlines the inclusions for the Round 12 match, with Carlton looking to showcase its up and coming stars.\u00a0Nicola Burns<\/strong>\u00a0has also been named in.<\/p>\n North Melbourne AFLW recruit,\u00a0Emma King<\/strong>\u00a0and new Greater Western Sydney (GWS) forward,\u00a0Christina Bernardi\u00a0<\/strong>headline Richmond\u2019s changes this week, both coming into the Round 12 team. Another exciting in for the Tigers this week is ruck,\u00a0Alice Edmonds<\/strong>\u00a0who missed last week\u2019s clash against NT Thunder. These three inclusions take the places of\u00a0Jacinta Louttit<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Louise Bieniara<\/strong>\u00a0who have been sidelined.<\/p>\n Carlton<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 22. G. Fisher, 25. T.

They have made five changes ahead of game day including former Carlton AFLW player,\u00a0Alison Brown,<\/strong>\u00a0who will be a welcome addition to the side.\u00a0Steph Binder, Shelley Heath<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Sarah Gordon<\/strong>\u00a0have also been named in. The final inclusion for the Southern Saints is debutant,\u00a0Holly Bate<\/strong>\u00a0who has been named as the 23rd player. After impressing at the recent AFL Womens\u2019s Under 18 Championships, the Sandringham Dragons forward is an exciting addition to the team, and hopefully her previous goal kicking form follows through this weekend.<\/p>\n The Saints will face the Hawks this weekend who are coming off their Round 11 bye. After their week off, Hawthorn hasmade some key changes for Round 12.\u00a0Pepa Randall<\/strong>\u00a0has been welcomed back to the starting 22 this week, alongside\u00a0Steph Carroll<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Emily Mcilvena<\/strong>\u00a0who have been elevated to the starting team after being named as emergencies in Round 10. Adelaide listed AFLW player,\u00a0Sarah Perkins<\/strong>\u00a0is another big in this week, and she will take the field with the Eastern Ranges duo,\u00a0Mikala Cann<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Emerson Woods<\/strong>\u00a0who have also been named in.<\/p>\n Southern Saints<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 11.

The side has made 13 changes ahead of the clash with the Casey Demons including 18-year-old,\u00a0Katelyn Rosenzweig<\/strong>\u00a0who is set to debut as the 23rd player. She is a part of the Adelaide Crows Academy and was the leading goalkicker in the SANFL competition, making her an exciting prospect.

Scott comes in for her first game in the VFLW this year but not without plenty of experience, having played in Melbourne\u2019s AFLW side. Former Adelaide player,\u00a0Talia Radan<\/strong>\u00a0also comes in for her first VFLW game, after being signed earlier in the month as a 2019 AFLW recruit for Melbourne. She will be joined by Gippsland Power and Vic Country defender,\u00a0Emily Hauesler\u00a0<\/strong>who will come into the side as the 23rd player.\u00a0On the other hand, Casey will be going without AFLW player,\u00a0Claudia Whitfort<\/strong>, as well as\u00a0Amanda McDonough<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Holly Bailey<\/strong>\u00a0who have all been named out.<\/p>\n NT Thunder<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 38.

However\u00a0Sophie Abbatangelo<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Danielle Hardiman<\/strong>, who are also 2019 North Melbourne recruits, have been sidelined.\u00a0Kathryn Klatt, Jessica Anderson\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Emma Humphries<\/strong>\u00a0have also been named in, while\u00a0Rhiannon Green, Asha Price, Clara Fitzpatrick<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Rebecca Webster<\/strong>\u00a0have been named out.
