MELBOURNE is one step closer to its semi-final clash against Geelong, naming an extended line-up three days out from the do-or-die match.
The Dees have named four inclusions to their 24-player squad, with Eliza West, Rhi Watt, Charlotte Wilson and Sammie Johnson coming into the side. Georgia Campbell has been omitted from the line-up.
Melbourne’s Sunday game will be just the second against the Cats in the club’s history, the first taking placing during Round 5 of the 2023 home-and-away season.
Dees fans are encouraged to show their support at the game, which is set for a 3:05pm start at IKON Park.
