Port Adelaide has made four changes to its Round 10 side, with Abbey Dowrick, Jaz Stewart, Chloe Gaunt and Jasmine Evans all returning to face Hawthorn under Friday night lights at Alberton Oval.
After missing Round 9 while managing quad soreness, Dowrick has passed her fitness test and will return to the forward line alongside Gaunt.
Evans has been named in the back line, while Stewart has been named on the interchange bench with Gemma Houghton, Ella Boag, Katelyn Pope and Ebony O’Dea.
Following a standout 25-disposal performance that included 11 inside 50s, Ash Woodland will again feature in the midfield, while Matilda Scholz will look to continue her run of strong form in the ruck.
After making her long-awaited AFLW debut in Round 6 following an ACL rupture that sidelined her for an extended period, forward Lauren Young will be managed this week.
Port Adelaide will again don its 2025 Pride guernsey in Round 10, to celebrate the second week of Pride Round.
The design honours the club’s traditional strip while introducing a third chevron filled with a colourful wave pattern inspired by the Progress Flag.
Flowing across the shoulders and back, the pattern symbolises the flag waving in the wind, with each line bending and blending differently to represent individuality and a shared sense of belonging.
Adding to the design’s personal touch, a rainbow on the front lower left of the guernsey features words chosen by the AFLW playing group: inclusivity, belonging, love, kindness, respect, freedom, and celebration.
The Power last met the Hawks in the 2024 semi-final, clinching a thrilling one-point win at Ikon Park.
Gates to Alberton Oval open at 5:15pm, with plenty of action around the grounds for fans of all ages.
The Port Adelaide Bowling Club offers some of the best views of the action and will be open, with free lawn bowls and a complimentary glass of Bone Dry Rosé on arrival for fans aged 18 and over. Tickets are available here.
For those unable to attend, the match will be broadcast live from 6:30pm ACDT on Fox Footy, Kayo and Channel 7.
