Ruby Schleicher’s return leads to an expanded Collingwood squad for Sunday’s Indigenous round clash with Geelong at Victoria Park.
Schleicher will play his first match of 2023, after being sidelined with an ankle injury before round one.
Stacey Livingstone also returns after a one-match suspension that saw her miss last week’s win over Carlton.
The third person involved is Imogen Evans, who will compete in the first clash of the 2023 season.
Alana Porter and Ash Brazill will both miss the match through injury, while Joanna Lin is absent.
Sunday’s clash with Geelong will mark Jordyn Allen’s 50th AFLW game. Allen made his debut against the Cats in the first round of the 2019 season.
Since then, the Defender has averaged 3.4 points, 3.6 contested possessions and 11 disposals per game. Allen, 23, has also joined Collingwood’s leadership group this season.
The clash will mark week two of the AFLW’s Indigenous rounds, with Collingwood set to celebrate “forged First Nations moments” throughout the day. Members and fans will have the opportunity to learn more about the culture of Indigenous Nations through the Welcome to Country performance, inning performances and more.
Guaranteed tickets to Collingwood v Geelong.
