GEELONG will welcome back a young tall forward, while GWS will be without two key players for their final game of the 2022 season.
Olivia Barber missed the Cats’ loss to St Kilda last week through concussion protocols after copping a head knock in round eight.
Barber will replace Claudia Gunjaca in the side, who has been omitted after struggling to find the ball in her first season at AFLW level.
Chloe Dalton will sit out through suspension for Rough Conduct, making it her sixth game on the sidelines for the year after battling both shoulder and calf concerns and health and safety disruptions.
Tough midfielder Alyce Parker will also miss due to concussion protocols, which saw her miss the second half of the Giants’ battle with Richmond on Saturday.
Katherine Smith and Casidhe Simmons will both come into the side.
