CLICK HERE<\/a><\/p>\nFor Melbourne, the addition of equal-club leading goalkicker Zanker will help to fill out the forward line after missing last week’s semi-final due to a controversial concussion suffered in the club’s qualifying final loss to Brisbane the week prior.<\/p>\n
Notably for the Demons, All-Australian squad member Maeve Chaplin\u00a0has overcome a hamstring injury to return to the side for the must-win match.<\/p>\n
Chaplin’s work through both the midfield and defensive line has been covered by the likes of Blaithin Mackin\u00a0and Sinead Goldrick in recent weeks, but with Chaplin back, there will be some more freedom offered to coach Mick Stinear for the game.<\/p>\n
Denby Taylor\u00a0and Georgia Gall\u00a0have both been dropped in order to make space for the star pair.<\/p>\n
Brisbane key defender Jen Dunne\u00a0has shaken off a knee concern to be selected in Saturday evening’s preliminary final against Carlton, likely to reprise her role on Breann Harrington. Poppy Bolz remains in the emergency list for the club, having struggled to maintain her place in the side this year.<\/p>\n
With a clean bill of health, both Carlton and Brisbane go into the game unchanged.<\/p>\n
Compared to the last time these two sides met, Brooke Vickers, Gab Pound, and Mia Austin are the three changes to Carlton’s side that defeated Brisbane back in round three, replacing Keeley Skepper, Siofra O’Connell, and Lila Keck.<\/p>\n
