The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos have named an unchanged side as they hunt their fourth straight AFLW win on Saturday.
Midfielder Kaitlyn Ashmore remains sidelined for the trip to face Richmond at Punt Road as she recovers from a hamstring strain, while Sarah Wright's excellent form in defence keeps the experienced Danielle Hardiman out of the starting line-up.
The Roos, placed fourth on the AFLW ladder, will be determined to keep pace with the top three by delivering their second away win of the season. They saw off Carlton at Ikon Park for their first win on the road a fortnight ago, before underlining their finals credentials by ending Fremantle's unbeaten run in Hobart last weekend.
Meanwhile the club's round seven match has been moved from Launceston to Hobart and from Friday next week to Sunday, as the AFL announced the latest revised fixture. Full details are below.
