IN: Pisano 
OUT: Clifton (foot) 

MELBOURNE has recalled crafty goalkicker Alyssia Pisano for its blockbuster, top-of-the-table clash with North Melbourne.  

The Demons have their sights set on knocking off the Kangaroos for the first time since 2023, with the past three matchups against the reigning, back-to-back premiers going the way of North Melbourne.  

The injured Lauren Clifton makes way for Pisano’s third game of the season. 

The clash takes on even more significance for the Dees as captain Kate Hore breaks new ground as the first AFLW Demon to 100 games, while Maeve Chaplin also lines up for her 50th game.  

Ikon Park will be taken over by Irish flair as the Jim Stynes Foundation brings Jim’s Game to the AFLW for the first time. 

The ‘Craic in at the W’ double-header clash will feature Irish performers, Gaelic Football and hurling exhibitions and free entry for Irish residents. 

Carlton and Richmond will get the first look at Ikon Park with the opening bounce at 4:00pm, before the Dees and Roos do battle at 7:15pm.  

Valid entry tickets grant entry to both games, giving fans double the action for the price of just one ticket.
