Alanna Mullan

Collingwood has made one change for Saturday’s Pride Game against Geelong with Speedy midfielder, Sarah Rowe added to the side.

The Irish cross-coder missed last week’s season opener as she was managed for a shoulder issue.

The Pies will be without small forward, Aliesha Newman who received a one-match ban for a dangerous tackle in last week's clash against the Blues.

Joanna Lin and Kristy Stratton have been named as emergencies. 

Pride Round

For the first time, a competition wide Pride Round will be held during round two of the AFL Women’s season.

The round is an opportunity to celebrate diversity across the league and is another step closer towards becoming a more inclusive game.

As part of the round, the Pies will wear Pride rainbow socks. Pride flags will also be handed out at the gate to attendees on game day.

Additionally, all AFL Umpires will wear rainbow-coloured sweat bands, while Goal Umpires will use rainbow flags. The 50-metre arc ground markings will also be painted rainbow for the occasion.

While the Magpies were originally due to meet the Gold Coast Suns, recent changes in government restrictions across the country caused a late fixturing change with the Pies now set to face Geelong.
