ADELAIDE has suffered a huge blow on the eve of its big clash against fellow powerhouse Fremantle, losing skipper Chelsea Randall to injury.

The All-Australian defender-turned-forward has been diagnosed with delayed concussion from last week's match against GWS.

Ailish Considine will also miss with concussion, while talented but injury-prone forward Chloe Scheer has been named for her first match since the 2019 NAB AFLW Grand Final in March, having suffered a torn ACL in that game.

The Dockers have made just the one change, with speedster Ashley Sharp named for her first game of the season in place of Evie Gooch, who was unable to make the trip east due to her work commitments with the fire brigade.

Richmond will unveil Olympian and basketballer Tessa Lavey for her AFLW debut, with defender Sarah Sansonetti also named for her first game of the season.

The Tigers have made a big statement at selection, dropping experienced but out-of-form duo Akec Makur Chuot and Christina Bernardi.

Opponent Collingwood has swung the changes, with Jordy Allen and Aliesha Newman returning from illness and suspension respectively.

Dead-eye forward Jordan Membrey will play her first game of the season, with tall trio Sharni Norder (quad), Erica Fowler (omitted) and youngster Amelia Velardo (managed) sitting out.

It leaves 19-year-old and third-gamer Bella Smith as the side's primary ruck, going up against undersized but athletic Tiger Gabby Seymour.
