Geelong will welcome back a couple of its AFLW-listed players as it prepares to take on Collingwood in the VFLW on Saturday.

Ruck Liv Fuller returns to the line-up for her second game this season, while Abbey McDonald is back after missing last week's win over North Melbourne due to injury.

Jane McMeel also returns to the side for the clash at Deakin University.

Molly Walton (managed), Kalani Scoullar and Eliza Wilson-Macdonald are the three outs.

The Cats and Magpies have had a famous rivalry in recent seasons, with the two sides playing some thrillers in 2021 and eventually qualifying for the grand final that season, although it was never played due to Covid restrictions at the time.
