The Cats have made three changes to their team to take on the Gold Coast Suns at Metricon Stadium on Friday night.

Ruck Rene Caris, midfielder Laura Gardiner and forward Madisen Maguire return to the line-up, replacing Annabel Johnson (foot), Darcy Moloney (suspension) and Liv Fuller (omitted).

Johnson's promising debut season was cut short following a fracture in her left foot, while Moloney was handed a one-match suspension for rough conduct (dangerous tackle) after last week's game against the West Coast Eagles.

The match will also see Becky Webster bring up her AFLW 25-game milestone.

The 21-year-old has developed into an important onballer for the Cats over the past two years, finishing third in the Cats' AFLW Best and Fairest last season, and is again making her presence felt this season.

After securing a breakthrough win against the Eagles last Friday night, the Cats will be keen to keep their momentum rolling against the Suns.

The Suns, however, are also a team on the improve, and have already registered two wins this season, after finishing 2021 winless.

The Cats take on the Suns from 6.10pm local time (7.10pm AEDT) on Friday night at Metricon Stadium.
