Four crucial inclusions for the Senior team as they host St.Kevins at Piranha Park this Sunday, including debutant Danica Pedersen.
With the Lions currently sitting in 6th position on the ladder, Pedersen will add welcomed experience to the backline set-up.
Pedersen brings a wealth of experience playing VFLW, representing Collingwood and Essendon and is in her second stint at Williamstown, making her Seagulls debut in 2016 and played her local footy at Aberfeldie.
Rounding out the inclusions for our round 13 clash are a trio of Williamstown teammates, with our 2022 leading goal kicker Teagan Brett making her first VAFA appearance for the Lions.
Defensive pair Abigail Adams and Lauren Suleiman return in place of Tara Chetcuti and Julia McArdle.
Alana Wenban will feature in the Development side this week, while Sophie Damon will be unavailable for selection this week.
The Development team will be buoyed by the return on the Emily Balaburov who suffered a calf strain before the bye.
Hayley Baber is back and available for selection this week and will feature in the Development team.
Completing the inclusions for the Development team are Ella Menzies, Bowen Hackett, Armina Sherifi, Mia D’Agostino and Sarah Piggott.
