Essendon VFLW has made three changes to its line-up ahead of Saturday’s encounter with Collingwood at Victoria Park.                        

The Dons will be without Eleanor Cornish, Sian Wilson and Maddy Collier, who exit last week's side, but will see the return of Natalie MacDonald, featuring in her third senior game since round two.                   

Chloe Laan will have a key role to play in her return to the senior line-up, named at full-back alongside Eloise Ashley-Cooper and Cecilia McIntosh, while Krstel Petrevski returns as the 23rd player.                

Kendra Heil, Lauren Ahrens and Molly Warburton make up the remainder of the backline.  

At the opposite end, Felicity Theodore, Monique DeMatteo and Lori Stepnell will line up in the forward line.          

Fresh off her standout 21-disposal performance against the Bulldogs, young gun Georgia Patrikios will lead from the centre alongside Ruby Svarc and Elizabeth Hosking.

Georgia Nanscawen and Shae Audley will line-up as ruck rovers.

Hoping to return to their winning ways, the Bombers will be eager to step up to the challenge as they take on the league leaders.

The last time the two sides met back in round nine, it was the Magpies who triumphed by 20 points.      

The final team will be decided ahead of the first bounce at 12pm on Saturday.

Live match updates will be available via Essendon VFLW’s Twitter.
