After a round one loss, Gold Coast has added some maturity in Maddy Brancatisano (ankle) and Katie Lynch for their first game of the season.

Brisbane has recalled young key forward Rania Crozier in place of suspended Dakota Davidson. St Kilda will field its first female Irish player, with pre-season draftee and former County Mayo skipper Saoirse Lally to play against Geelong after impressing in the VFLW last weekend. Darcy Guttridge has recovered from a minor back complaint, but J'Noemi Anderson (hamstring) and Abby Hobson (concussion) will miss.
