INS – O’Hehir
OUTS – Rigoni (omitted)

MELBOURNE will make its return to its inner-city home of IKON Park with one change to its starting line-up.

Molly O’Hehir has been welcomed back into the final 21 after successfully bouncing back from a minor leg injury.

Making way is Jemma Rigoni, who joins Georgia Campbell and Denby Taylor on the side’s emergency list.

The Dees players will be donning pink socks on Friday night as part of the annual Breast Cancer Network Australia Pink Lady Match, a much-loved moment on the fixture where the club recognises Australians impacted by breast cancer.

Fans can support the organisation by purchasing a scarf or beanie at the ground, or making a donation via this link.

The Friday night game will also be a ‘Par-Tay’ in celebration of Taylor’s Swift new album, Life of a Showgirl, dropping on the same day as the match.

With showgirls, friendship bracelets, face painting and songs played throughout, it's set to be a match-day experience of Swifties' wildest dreams.
