The squad includes all 21 players who took the field last Saturday against the Saints, while Vivien Saad is in contention for her first game of 2024, named on an extended 8-player bench after overcoming a calf complaint suffered during pre-season.

The extended bench also includes Round 1 emergencies and potential AFLW first gamers Lauren McConville and Keely Fullerton.

Mackay products Lauren Bella and Wallis Randell will take the field on their return to their hometown in what will be Bella’s 49th AFLW game for the club.

The final 21-player team will be named on Friday evening.

Tickets are available HERE for Sunday’s clash at Great Barrier Reef Arena – adults at just $15 with free entry for juniors under 18 years. Gates open at 12pm ahead of a 1.05pm first bounce.

If you can’t make it the game, catch all the action on Fox Footy, Kayo and the Seven network (check your local guides).
