Euro-Yroke could feature as many as five fresh faces for Sunday’s road trip to Ballarat, with formerly injured pair Rebecca Ott and Nat Exon among the potential inclusions.
It’s been almost two years to the day since Ott last pulled on the red, white and black at senior level, having missed all of last season with an Achilles setback before suffering a tibia injury in the lead-up to this year’s campaign.
Meanwhile, Exon has missed the past four matches recovering from a rib injury as she pushes for a late-season recall, while Boyd is a chance to feature for the first time since Week 7A. All three have been named on the extended bench for Sunday.
Rene Caris and Simone Nalder has also been named as potential ruck inclusions, while Emmelie Fiedler (managed) and Ella Friend (omitted) come out of the line-up.
As part of AFLW Indigenous Round, the Saints will proudly go by the Boon Wurrung name of Euro-Yroke and will wear a special red, yellow and black guernsey designed by Wagiman man and artist Nathan Patterson across the next fortnight.
Euro-Yroke will finalise its side tomorrow evening at 5:00pm.
