Collingwood has made seven changes ahead of its round twelve clash with Richmond on Sunday.
Returning to the side are AFLW stars Brianna Davey, Jaimee Lambert, Sophie Casey and Lauren Butler.
Eliza Hynes will also make her VFLW season debut with the side.
Oakleigh Charger players Gemma Lagioia and Alana Porter are also injected into the team. Lagioia impressed in the Pies’ round four clash against NT Thunder, collecting 12 disposals and a goal, whilst Sunday’s match will mark Porter’s debut in the black and white.
After the Pies’ four-point victory over Melbourne Uni last Saturday, they remain in the ladder leading position with a game clear of the Southern Saints, followed by Richmond who is just below in third.
The Tigers will run out on their home turf having suffered their third defeat of the season, going down to Hawthorn by 13-points last weekend.
This will be the first occasion Pies turned Tigers, Shayla Marsh and Hannah McLaren will meet their former side.
