North Melbourne has named a refreshed line-up for Saturday's VFLW season opener against Geelong at Deakin University in Waurn Ponds.

Former Western Spur Kayla Peake and Northern Knights product Zara Flanigan will debut at the level, named respectively on the half-forward flank and in the ruck.

Marianna Anthony, Dalia Edward, Felicity Theodore and Annie Xanthos will also run out in blue and white for the first time.

Senior-listed players Taylah Gatt and Cassidy Mailer will feature on the wing and on the half-back flank, respectively.

It will be Mailer's first competitive appearance for the club since she was drafted with pick 54 in 2022, having overcome bone stress in her leg in the interim.

The first bounce is scheduled for 3pm at Deakin University in Waurn Ponds.

You can live stream the match free via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
