ISABEL Huntington, 2017's No.1 draft pick, is set to make her long-awaited return to football after a right knee reconstruction, named in the Western Bulldogs' 21 to play Fremantle on Sunday.

The Dogs forward has not played since rupturing her ACL in February last year. She was further set back when she sprained the same knee in December.

The 20-year-old will be joined by 2018 AFLW leading goalkicker Brooke Lochland, who is returning from a fractured right fibula suffered in a practice match in January.

Eleanor Brown also returns for the Dogs, with Nicole Callinan, Celine Moody and Bonnie Toogood omitted.

FULL FIXTURE Check out when and where your club plays

Carlton and Collingwood's clash at Ikon Park on Saturday will see several debutants – Pie Darcy Guttridge and 18-year-old Blues Emerson Woods and Charlotte Wilson – take to the field.

Guttridge, the ninth pick in the 2017 NAB AFLW Draft and under-18 All Australian captain, missed all of the 2018 season with a broken collarbone and has been sidelined this year with a quad niggle.

Teammate Ash Brazill (returning from concussion) will join her, with Cecilia McIntosh, Nicole Hildebrand and Georgie Parker omitted.

Brisbane has made just one change for its match against Geelong, with young defender Nat Grider making way for captain Leah Kaslar, returning from a left calf complaint.

The Cats have made two forced changes, with Kate Darby and debutant Rene Caris coming in for suspended forward duo Aasta O'Connor and Maddie Boyd.

Melbourne and Greater Western Sydney have made two changes apiece, with Demons Brooke Patterson and Maddy Guerin coming in for their first games of the season.

The Giants have regained Erin McKinnon (gastro) and Britt Perry, with Maddy Collier and Ingrid Nielsen making way.

Four-goal debutant Courteney Munn has returned from a minor calf complaint for North Melbourne, while Crow Chloe Scheer has completed her one-match suspension and will replace the injured Courtney Cramey (hamstring).

Young Docker Matilda Sergeant will make her AFLW debut; the midfielder missed the first half of the season with a hip injury.

Hayley Miller returns from suspension, with ruck Alicia Janz set to play her first game for the season, overcoming a PCL injury.

Katie-Jayne Grieve, Ashlee Atkins and Courtney Stubbs have been omitted from Fremantle's side.
