GEEONG has made three changes to their team that will play GWS in the final round of the AFLW home and away season.
The Cats currently sit second in conference B and a win against the Giants would secure themselves a place in this year’s finals series.
READ – Match Preview
Premiership ruck Aasta O’Connor returns to play her first match since round four after serving a two-game suspension.
Young gun Sophie van De Heuvel is another big inclusion for the must-win game against the Giants after recovering from an ankle injury.
Hannah Burchell will become the 28th player to represent the Cats in their inaugural year after being named to make her debut.
The 24-year-old is one of only two players to have played in every Geelong VFLW match over the past 2 seasons (31 games).
Georgia Clarke, Rene Caris and Georgie Rankin have been omitted.
