Both Ash Brazill and Kristy Stratton are set to make their season debuts this Saturday when Collingwood host St Kilda at Victoria Park.

Saturday’s game will mark 385 days since Brazill last took to the field having torn her anterior cruciate ligament during the Magpies’ round four match last season.

It's also been sometime since forward, Kristy Stratton's last game which was in round three last season. The 26-year-old suffered an injury setback during the pre-season with a fractured wrist, but has been dominant in her return to the Pies’ VFLW side over the last couple of weeks. 

Also returning for Saturday's game is Irish midfielder, Sarah Rowe alongside hard on-baller, Ebony O’Dea.

Rowe has been sidelined since round five due to a shoulder issue but made an impressive return in the VFLW last week. O’Dea has only missed one game this season being last week’s match against the Lions.
