LIVELY Hawthorn forward Greta Bodey has been cleared to face Carlton and the reunited Moody twins after training with a brace on her hand, but North Melbourne midfielder Jenna Bruton has just fallen short in her bid to return from a torn Achilles.

The Roos have named star recruit Libby Birch to play Brisbane, the key defender having overcome a torn MCL in near-record time to be named.

Powerful forward Vikki Wall will make her return to the AFLW after a year off due to rugby commitments.

The Hawks had previously confirmed top draft talent Laura Stone, Jess Vukic and Mikayla Williamson will make their debuts against the Blues.

Carlton will be welcoming its own fresh face, with Celine Moody (formerly Western Bulldogs) set to play alongside sister Breann for the first time since the pair were at school.
