VFLW Round 5 Team: Five in for North clash
Box Hill will debut two young guns, while a 2023 Best and Fairest podium winner, a strong forward presence and an AFLW star all rejoin the line up.
A few magnets have been shuffled as we head into our third straight-game at home, ready to take on North Melbourne at Box Hill City Oval on Saturday for Round 5.
VFL-listed talent in Paula Pavic and Taylah Canobie will don the brown and gold for the first time. While Matilda Van Berkel and Jess Matin will feature again, after a couple of appearances so far this season.
Our Round 5 line up will again feature eight AFLW players, with just one change from last week. Tahlia Fellows has been omitted after sustaining a heavy knock late in Round 4, Sophie Locke comes into the Box Hill side for the first time in 2024.
Coming out of the side that triumphed over Williamstown are Fellows, Jess Cox, Mietta Kendall, Grace Matser and Annie Muir.
