All the teams for Round 14 in the rebel VFLW.
Reigning premier Port Melbourne has been boosted by the return of Lambert-Pearce medallist Jordan Mifsud against her old team as it aims to keep its title defence alive in a do-or-die battle with Box Hill Hawks at ETU Stadium on Sunday.
The Borough sit sixth but a final-round defeat will leave them vulnerable to being replaced by Collingwood or Casey Demons in the top six, and the return of Mifsud despite her myriad injury issues this year will be a key to their hopes.
The Hawks, who must win and hope Western Bulldogs lose to pinch the double chance, have made four changes.
In come first-year players Mia Zielinski and Mikayla Lee, while 20-year-olds, Tayissa Gray and Emily Shepherd will play their first games for the club. Gray played four matches for the Borough in 2022 and Shepherd lined up six times for the Magpies last year.
Collingwood has received mixed news at the selection table for its own must-win clash with Williamstown at Victoria Park on Saturday, with key defender Kasey Lennox named but Akayla Peterson to miss again.
Both missed last week’s win over Darebin with knee and groin injuries respectively, but it is late withdrawal Peterson who has failed to come up for a game the Magpies must win against a team they have never lost to in order to have any chance of playing in the finals.
The minor premier Seagulls have rested ruck Cat O’Bryan and Brittney Gray but will regain former captain Erin Meade as well as goalkickers Tegan Brett and Molly Simpson as they aim to stretch their undefeated run to 10 before hosting the qualifying final next week.
Akimah Manoah has been named to play for the first time this year.
The other team chasing the last spot in the finals, Casey, has recalled former AFLW player Jo Lin from injury and Tylah Burn as it hosts a Southern Saints’ outfit bolstered by the return of reigning best and fairest winner Winnie Laing, Sophie Phillips and Georgia Ricardo.
Darebin has lost star midfielder Ange Gogos to a serious hamstring injury for its last game of the year against Carlton at IKON Park on Sunday.
Gogos hobbled off the ground last week and her fears were realised when it was graded as an eight-week injury, with the Falcons left to chase a second win over the Blues this year without her or Paige Trajkovski (ribs).
However, Emily Rayment is back from injury and Collegians small Emily Mirabella, 29, has been selected to debut.
Carlton has put most of its AFLW players back into cotton wool, making 14 changes, but Tahlia Read, Lulu Beatty and Dayna Finn will still play.
Western Bulldogs have regained Bombers premiership defender Tamsin Crook for their trip to Arden St to face North Melbourne, a game they have to win to lock in second spot.
The Kangaroos have recalled former AFLW Bulldog Amanda Ling, co-captain ruck Sarah King and Felicity Theodore, with Kate Reynolds being given the week off.
Essendon has named experienced former Darebin defender Karly McNiece to make her club debut against Geelong at Windy Hill in what will be her 49th VFLW game.
The Cats have released their four youngsters back to Geelong Falcons, bringing in two GWV Rebels debutants – Bacchus Marsh’s Elise Cook and North Ballarat’s Isabella Davies – in their place.
All matches in the 2024 rebel VFLW season will be live streamed free via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
