A NEW chapter for an old rivalry and a new Game Changer.

Carlton's team to face Essendon on Sunday at ETU Stadium is in, headlined by the inclusion of debutant and former Murray Bushranger Keeley Skepper.

Announced to the playing group by AFLW Senior Coach Daniel Harford during the week, Skepper will become Carlton’s fourth debutant of the season after being selected by the Blues with their first pick (No.17) in the 2022 NAB AFL Women’s Draft.

The ball-winning midfielder - who took out Vic Country’s Most Valuable Player award at the national championships - will add depth in the middle for the Blues, supporting Mimi Hill and Abbie McKay, who both recorded career-best disposal numbers last week.

Last week's debutants Mia Austin, Amelia Velardo and Phoebe McWilliams will all once again feature in the side after strong Round 1 showings, while Natalie Plane has been omitted.
