WITH the preliminary finals set to commence this weekend all four sides have pulled out the big guns in the hope to secure a ticket to the grand final.<\/p>\n
Shock waves were sent through the Dockers camp last week after Dana Hooker<\/strong> went down against North Melbourne but many will be happy to see her take the field after being cleared of any injury. Teammate Sabreena Duffy<\/strong> has been named in the team but under a big injury cloud after also going down last week.<\/p>\n There were also injury concerns around Adelaide co-captain, Chelsea Randall<\/strong> but the hard-nosed defender is set to pull on the jersey on Sunday, making her a big in for the Crows. Adelaide will be pleased to welcome back deadly forward, Jess Sedunary<\/strong> and defender, Nikki Gore<\/strong> who offer great value to the side.<\/p>\n After a controversial few days off the field, star Carlton forward, Tayla Harris<\/strong> will be set to make her mark on the competition and forge her side into AFLW history, while only one change was made with Jess Edwards<\/strong> named in the squad.<\/p>\n Unfortunately, the Cats will be without damaging forward, Phoebe McWilliams<\/strong> who is set to have surgery on her hand, but they will welcome back the likes of Anna Teague<\/strong>, Rebecca Webster<\/strong> and Georgia Clarke<\/strong> for their inaugural finals push.<\/p>\n CARLTON v.
