ROUND 16 marks the final round of the Victorian Football League (VFL) Women\u2019s home and away season. While the top four might be locked in, teams will still be looking to finish strongly. Two debutants look to take to the field this week alongside an array of changes. The last round of the 2018 season opens with the Southern Saints taking on the Tigers.<\/p>\n

SOUTHERN SAINTS v. RICHMOND<\/strong><\/p>\n Round 16 \u2013 25\/08\/2018<\/strong><\/p>\n 11:00AM<\/strong><\/p>\n SkyBus Stadium<\/strong><\/p>\n Both out of the finals race, the Southern Saints and Richmond will be lining up for the last game of the season to kick off Round 16. The Saints have made five changes ahead of the match, featuring the inclusion of AFLW star, Lauren Arnell<\/strong>. They have also called upon TAC Cup Girls leading goal kicker, Holly Bate<\/strong> to join the field, alongside Sandringham midfielder, Eleanor Brown<\/strong>, Amy Silver<\/strong> and Eastern Ranges defender, Charlotte Wilson<\/strong>. Missing out this week are Alice Ryan<\/strong> and Sasha Long<\/strong>.<\/p>\n The Tigers will be returning from their Round 15 bye this weekend and have made four changes to their line-up. Nuala Clarke, Niamh Clarke, Gabrielle Deller<\/strong> and Ellie George<\/strong> have all been named to take to the field. On the other hand, AFLW duo, Emma King<\/strong>\u00a0and Lauren Tesoriero<\/strong> have both been named out which is sure to leave room for younger players to stand up one last time in the 2018 season.<\/p>\n Southern Saints<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 16.

A win this weekend could cement the Hawks a top two finish. They have made three changes ahead of the clash, bringing in Claire Dyett<\/strong> and Jess Sibley<\/strong>. Nicky Cormack<\/strong> has also been named as the 23rd player.<\/p>\n Following suit, Geelong has also made three changes this week.

They will take to the field alongside Gippsland Power defender, Emily Haeusler, Lorianne Lowerson<\/strong> and Jasmine Garner<\/strong>. Taking to the sidelines will be former Vic Country skipper, Darcy Guttridge<\/strong> and Dandenong Stingrays skipper, Jordyn Allen<\/strong>.<\/p>\n With a guaranteed top two finish, the Pies have made an array of changes this week in order to keep legs fresh.

Another exciting inclusion this week for Carlton is father-daughter prospect, Abbie McKay<\/strong>, daughter of premiership player, Andrew McKay<\/strong>. The Vic Metro representative will debut this weekend, named as the 23rd player. Jess Malouf<\/strong> has also been added to the mix, while AFLW listed players, Reni Hicks<\/strong> and Alison Downie<\/strong> will take to the sidelines.<\/p>\n Essendon<\/strong><\/p>\n B: 20.
