Late call-up Indi West will make her debut, while Jo Cregg returns to the side.

North Melbourne has brought back the big guns, with Emma Kearney (calf) and Jenna Bruton (quad) recalled after injury, although Emma King (hamstring) and Bella Eddey (shin) didn't get up after being listed as tests this week.

Last week's debutant Amy Gavin Mangan and second ruck Ari Hetherington make way, as the Roos opt for a smaller side against the Dockers.

Carlton Irish recruit Siofra O'Connell will make her debut against Brisbane, who is unchanged.
