EXPERIENCED Demon Paxy will re-enter Melbourne’s starting side this weekend.  

The Dees will face the Dogs on Saturday afternoon in the clubs’ much-loved tradition, the Hampson-Hardeman Cup.  

Paxy was ruled out of Round 2 due to a minor quad strain but proved her fitness after a full week of training.   

Charlotte Wilson makes way and joins the emergency list alongside Rhi Watt and Jordan Ivey.  

Saturday’s match will mark a significant milestone in the history of the two clubs, celebrating the 10th year of the Hampson-Hardeman Cup, first beginning in 2013.  

The annual match looks to recognise the impact of the two key drivers in the development of women’s football.  

Melbourne currently holds the cup having previously defeated the Bulldogs at Casey Fields during season seven.  

The Dees will host the Bulldogs at Casey Fields in the club’s first match of the season at their south-east home.  

Footy fans will be treated to exciting new additions to Casey Fields this year, with a number of activities and giveaways available for supporters of all ages.
