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.
