The return of Ruby Schleicher headlines Collingwood’s extended squad for Sunday’s Indigenous Round clash against Geelong at Victoria Park.

Schleicher will play her first game of 2023 if selected in the final side, after being sidelined due to an ankle injury since before Round One.

Stacey Livingstone also returns to the squad following a one game suspension that saw her miss last week’s win against Carlton.

Sunday’s clash against Geelong will mark Jordyn Allen’s 50^th AFLW game. Allen made her debut against the Cats in the opening round of season 2019.

Since then, the Defender has averaged 3.4 marks, 3.6 contested possessions and eleven disposals a game. 23-year-old Allen also joined Collingwood’s leadership group this season.

The clash will be the second week of the AFLW Indigenous Rounds, with Collingwood set to celebrate ‘Moments Forged by First Nations’ across the matchday. Members and fans will have the opportunity to learn more about First Nation’s culture through a Welcome to Country, performance at quarter time and more.

The final team will be named at 5pm on Friday.
