Collingwood Head Coach Steve Symonds has named his squad for Saturday’s AFLW practice match against Fremantle.

The 24-player squad includes Grace Campbell (traded from North Melbourne), Nell Morris-Dalton (traded from the Western Bulldogs), Eleri Morris (Pick 13 in the 2023 AFLW Supplementary Draft), Selena Karlson (Pick 14 in the 2023 AFLW Supplementary Draft), and Tarni White (traded from St Kilda), who are all new to the team in 2023.

18-year-old Charlotte Blair will play her first official competitive match for the Pies, after completing Year 12 at the conclusion of season seven.

The match will also mark Grace Campbell’s first official hit-out since her season-ending ACL injury in season seven.

Ash Brazill will be managed having returned this week from South Africa after winning Gold with the Australian Diamonds at the Netball World Cup.

Imogen Barnett will be unavailable for Saturday’s practice match due to a finger injury which is expected to see her sidelined for 2-3 weeks.

Joanna Lin will also sit out the game with a foot injury which is expected to make her unavailable for 2-3 weeks.

Brianna Davey will be managed (hamstring).

Charlotte Taylor will be sidelined with a knee injury which is expected to see her sidelined for 10-14 weeks. The Club will provide a further update on her injury in the coming weeks.

The clash will provide an opportunity for Collingwood’s fresh group to play together ahead of their Round One clash against Melbourne at Ikon Park on Friday September 1.
