The young gun, an under 18 All Australian who the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos picked with the 49th selection in the national draft through its access to Tasmanian players, has been named on the bench for Saturday's clash with Gold Coast at Arden Street.
But there will be no reunion with Launceston teammate Abbey Green, who was omitted despite kicking two goals in the win over Richmond.
Green had played the past two matches after making her debut for the second-placed team in Conference A in her home city against Greater Western Sydney.
On-field leader, and former Burnie Docker, Brittany Gibson and midfielder Ellie Gavalas, from Hobart, have been named, while Wynyard's Emma Humphries, who hurt her ankle just before round one, is an emergency.
Meanwhile, Clarence's Jessica Wuetschner is a chance to return to the Brisbane team after being named on the interchange bench for Sunday's clash with Greater Western Sydney at Hickey Park.
The forward, who was struck by lightning while at work on the Brisbane docks during the pre-season, has missed the past two matches.
Ingrid Nielsen, originally from Hobart, at the Giants and Wynyard's Ellyse Gamble at the Western Bulldogs have also been named for this weekend.
