In-form defender Dayna Cox is one of four inclusions for Saturday night’s AFLW clash with Carlton.
Cox returns after serving a one-match suspension for striking against the Western Bulldogs.
Winger Rheanne Lugg, who also missed the draw with Greater Western Sydney last weekend, has recovered from a wrist injury and will play against the Blues at Norwood Oval.
Premiership utility Anne Hatchard and midfielder Sophie Armitstead, who have performed strongly in the SANFL Women’s competition in recent weeks, complete the additions.
Experienced players Abbey Holmes, Georgia Bevan and Rachael Killian have been left out of the team, along with first-year ruck Jess Allan.
Bevan and defender Talia Radan are the emergencies.
Saturday night’s match starts at 6:40pm (SA), with gates open at 2:45pm.
Entry is free.
Located outside the main gates at Norwood Oval, the Crows Kids Zone will be in action from 2:45pm with plenty of fun and free activities.
Children aged 5–14 can also take part in the Statewide Super Coaching Clinic from 5:10pm – 5:45pm. Interested children should register at the Statewide Super tent behind the northern goals between 4.45pm – 5.00pm.
Crows women’s team members can grab their free bobblehead from the membership tent near the main entrance of Norwood Oval. Full details are available here.
