Young forward Georgia Clark will return to Collingwood's AFLW side for it Week Nine clash with Carlton on Sunday afternoon. 

Clark replaces fellow forward Eliza James who will miss through concussion. 

James suffered the knock in a heavy clash early in last Sunday's Week Eight game against the Adelaide Crows, and was subsequently put into concussion protocols. 

James' unavailability is the only change to the Pies' team from last week.

The Magpies are hunting their second win of the season in what will be their penultimate game of 2024. 

Defenders Ruby Schleicher and Lucy Cronin have been two of the star players of the season, with the former one of three Vice-Captains that has led strongly all year, while the latter a first-year player taking the competition by storm. 

The Victoria Park clash will be the first time the Pies have hosted the Blues at the venue in the history of the competition, with all games between the two sides played at Ikon Park since 2017.

Sunday's game will also mark the first of two weeks of Indigenous Round, with the Pies donning a special guernsey designed by Uncle Trevor Davis - father of Collingwood legend, Leon. 

The guernsey was first worn by the side’s AFL counterpart during the AFL’s Sir Doug Nicholls Round in May this year. 

The inspiration for the guernsey design stems from a piece of art by Uncle Trevor called ‘Healing’.

Uncle Trevor, who is a proud Wadjuk, Ballardong, Wilman, Wongi and Noongar man, created the painting that depicts a healing process which the Club has embarked on over the past few years. 

The first bounce is scheduled for 3:05pm on Sunday afternoon, with the game able to be watched live on Channel 7.
