Round 6 brings three fresh inclusions for Sunday, with Pisano, Gillard, and Goldrick boosting Melbourne’s lineup, aiming to add strength and balance across the field in the upcoming clash.

Alyssia Pisano, Tahlia Gillard, and Sinead Goldrick have been confirmed as part of the lineup, boosting the team’s overall strength. Their inclusion ensures more balance and flexibility across the squad.

With these additions, the side gains extra depth in crucial areas ahead of Sunday’s clash. Each player brings valuable skills that will enhance performance and provide more options during the contest. Tahlia Gillard is poised to make her long-awaited return, marking her first appearance of the 2025 season. She has successfully completed her recovery after a knee injury interrupted her preseason campaign.

The setback occurred during a match simulation against Hawthorn in July, forcing her to the sidelines for several weeks. Now fully fit, Gillard is ready to rejoin the side and contribute to the team’s efforts. Sinead Goldrick is set to provide a boost for Melbourne as she returns to the lineup, making her first appearance since Round 2. Her inclusion adds valuable experience and strength to the side.

On the other hand, Georgia Campbell remains out of action due to injury. To cover squad depth, Amelia Dethridge has been included on the emergency list, joining Jemma Rigoni and Lily Johnson in that role. Melbourne will be determined to make a strong return when they play at home, following a close loss to Port Adelaide in Round 5. The team is focused on regaining momentum and putting in a strong performance.
