HAWTHORN'S hopes of defeating Collingwood have taken a blow, with superstar midfielder Emily Bates a late withdrawal. 

Bates will sit out the game due to a tight calf. 

The midfielder will be replaced by key defender Mack Eardley, who will come in for her first game of the year after missing round one with a quad complaint. 

Collingwood is unchanged, having named two top-up players in Jordi Ivey and Sarah Ingram as emergencies.

Hawthorn started the Daniel Webster era in style with last week's win over Carlton, and will looking to keep the good times going this week against Collingwood.

The Pies will be without midfielder Tarni White, who copped a massive three-game suspension for a late bump during last week's loss to Sydney.

New Hawk Eliza West was superb last week against the Blues, racking up 29 possessions - 25 of those contested - in her first game in the brown and gold.

Essendon has also made a late change for its clash against West Coast, with Georgia Gee withdrawn before the bounce due to a calf complaint.

Gee has been replaced in the selected side by debutant Chloe Adams.

West Coast will be looking to build on last week's shock win over Richmond, which started the Daisy Pearce era in style.

With Pearce now at the coaching helm, the Eagles looked reinvigorated and well-organised last week against Richmond, while Essendon will have to cover the loss of co-captain Bonnie Toogood after she suffered a knee injury last week against Fremantle.

The Bombers will also be without forward Amber Clarke through concussion.
