Football’s first father-daughter recruit, Carlton’s Abbie McKay, will make her AFLW debut on Saturday as the Blues take on Geelong.

McKay, the daughter of Carlton legend Andrew McKay, will join the Blues midfield as they seek back-to-back victories.

Ruck Rhiannon Watt will come in at the expense of Breann Moody who has been omitted alongside Kirby Bentley.

The Cats welcome back ruck Aasta O’Connor for the game at GMHBA Stadium.

Collingwood will be without its best player with Ash Brazill (concussion) to miss its Morwell clash with GWS.

Former Australian netballer Sharni Layton will get another chance as will former Hockeyroo Georgia Parker as two of seven possible inclusions for Sunday.

North Melbourne’s star debutant Courteney Munn, who kicked four goals in her first AFLW game last week, will miss the Kangaroos’ clash with Melbourne with a calf injury.
