INS – McNamara, Purcell, Paxman, Campbell, Heath-Barker
OUTS – Ebert, Gall, Hose, Fellows, Pisano (omitted)

MELBOURNE will be bolstered by the return of five Demons, most notably Eliza McNamara, who will play her first game since Round 5.

McNamara has been sidelined with a jaw injury since the team's match against Port Adelaide, but has proven her fitness this week and will make her return for finals footy.

She’ll join four other inclusions for the qualifying final as Shelley Heath-Barker (concussion), Olivia Purcell (managed), Paxy Paxman (ankle soreness) and Georgia Campbell (illness) all re-enter Melbourne's line-up to face the Cats. 

Laela Ebert, Georgia Gall, Alyssia Pisano, Jacinta Hose and Tahlia Fellows have all been omitted with Ebert, Gall and Fellows named as emergencies.

The qualifying final will take place at IKON Park from 1:05pm and will be the first time the Dees have faced the Cats this season, making it a reunion match with former Melbourne coach Mick Stinear.

The winner of Saturday's game will earn a week off, heading straight to a preliminary final, while the losing side will face either Sydney or the Western Bulldogs in a semi-final next weekend.

Saturday's match also marks the 100th career game for Demon Tyla Hanks, who will become the youngest player in the AFLW to reach this milestone. 

Dees fans are encouraged to get to IKON Park on Saturday to help cheer the side on. Tickets can be found here.
