Hannah Stuart was last night confirmed as an AFLW debutant, with the former VFLW Saint drafted to the club after spending three seasons at Trevor Barker Beach Oval.

Taken with the 63rd pick, Stuart enjoyed her best season for the Southern Saints earlier this year, winning the 2022 Best and Fairest after helping lead her team to its maiden VFLW Grand Final appearance.

Nic Stevens and Erin McKinnon will also make their club debuts after coming across from Carlton and Greater Western Sydney respectively.

It is the 50th career match for Stevens, who has not missed a game of footy since she was taken by Collingwood in the inaugural AFLW draft.

Clara Fitzpatrick returns to the side after missing the last two seasons due to injury and visa issues, while Georgia Patrikios, Rosie Dillon and Liv Vesely will also return to the side to face the Swans.

Simone Nalder, Lucy Burke and Deanna Jolliffe have all been named on the emergency list.

The Saints are set to face off against Sydney from 5:10pm, with the game broadcast on Fox Footy, Kayo and the AFLW app.
