Maddie Shevlin: debut
Maddie Shevlin is set to run out for her first game of the 2021 season this Sunday when the Pies meet the Lions in round seven. 

The third-year Magpie has worked her way back into the side after battling a wrist injury sustained during the pre-season.

The 23-year-old is the only new inclusion into the Pies line-up for Sunday's game and will come in for Ebony O'Dea who has been listed as an emergency for the match.

The round seven match was previously scheduled to be played at Hickey Park in Brisbane.

However, due to a positive COVID-19 case, the game was moved to VU Whitten Oval and will now be hosted by the Pies.

The timing of the change to the venue means crowds will not be permitted at the relocated match.

While the Lions currently sit in second position on the ladder, the Pies lead the way one game clear at the top of the table as the sole undefeated side.  



The AFL wishes to advise a change to the venue of the Round Seven clash between the Brisbane Lions and Collingwood with the game to be played at the Victoria University Whitten Oval at 3:10pm AEDT on Sunday, March 14.

The match, previously scheduled to be played at Hickey Park in Brisbane, has been moved to Melbourne’s Victoria University Whitten Oval to best protect the health and safety of everyone in the competition and ensure the season progresses with minimal disruption and risk amid the constantly changing environment as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.

AFL General Manager Women’s Football Nicole Livingstone said the health and safety of everyone in the game and in the wider community remains paramount and the league would continue to take the advice of governments and health officials.

“While COVID-19 continues to impact the community, the health and welfare of our players and the community remains the priority and we remain committed to delivering a full season in a safe manner anchored in the advice of respective governments, public health officials and medical experts,” Ms Livingstone said.

“The afternoon slot allows for the Brisbane Lions to fly into Melbourne on Sunday morning and return to Brisbane on Sunday night.”

The timing of the change to the venue means crowds will not be permitted at the relocated match and Ms. Livingstone thanked supporters for their understanding.
