Young Hawk Keely Coyne will play her first game in the brown and gold since Round 7, having been named to replace the injured Mackenzie Eardley for Sunday's Round 11 clash against Essendon at the Kennedy Community Centre.
The 21-year-old earns her opportunity off the back of some solid outings in AFLW scrimmages in recent weeks.
Defender Laura Elliott has also been named for her 50th AFLW match.
