The North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos have named an unchanged line-up for Saturday's do-or-die AFLW Qualifying Final against Fremantle.
Midfielder turned damaging half-back Emma Kearney will skipper the Kangaroos in their third final since joining the competition in 2019. It will be Roos' first final at Arden St, after they played their home semi-final in the abandoned 2020 season at Carlton's IKON Park.
Kangaroo stars Ash Riddell and Jas Garner will aim to continue their stellar seasons in the finals after finishing equal second and equal 10th respectively in the AFLW coaches' votes after the home-and-away season.
Riddell is fresh from setting a new disposals record in last week's win over West Coast, while Garner was best and ground in the Roos' win when the sides last met in a windswept round five match in Hobart.
Youngsters Lexi Hamilton and Amy Smith were named as emergencies for Saturday's match.
