Adelaide has made four changes ahead of its clash against Gold Coast at Norwood Oval on Saturday afternoon.
Wing Deni Varnhagen will play her first game of the 2021 season after overcoming knee and quad injuries.
Midfielder Rachelle Martin has also recovered from injury and will play her second game of the year, while ruck Rhiannon Metcalfe and forward Ailish Considine have been recalled.
Eloise Jones (shoulder) won’t be risked off a six-day break while Hannah Munyard twinged her calf at training on Wednesday night and also won’t be risked.
For #IWD2021 and beyond, we're proud to break down barriers and show what fierce, strong women have to offer ????

Caitlin Gould and Jessica Sedunary have been omitted.
Crows AFLW senior coach Matthew Clarke said the four changes after a strong win in Round Five showed the depth of the squad.
“We have a relatively injury-free list at this stage, so the pressure is really tight and it’s tough for those players that are playing pretty good footy – at times they are missing out,” Clarke said.
“[There are] some players in the SANFL that are playing really well and are unable to get in.
“Selection is always really tight, but we are in that space where we are able to put a fit and healthy list out there and compete well.”
Clarke also said how pleased he was about the Club securing two home games out of the final three rounds in the AFLW fixture released on Thursday.
“We wanted five home games for our members and supporters going back to the start of the season and obviously, with the reshuffle we weren’t sure that was going to happen,” he said.
“For that to be cemented now is awesome for the Club and clearly from the playing group, the ability to have those games at home is a benefit as well.
“Last week was our first home performance of significance, playing really well in front of our members and fans was great so we’d like to be able to do that again on Saturday.”
Tickets are still available to purchase for the game starting at 4:40pm on Saturday, you can secure them here.
There will be lots of fun activations set up for the kids outside the ground prior to gates opening at 3:40pm.
