Named on the interchange for the clash, Walker is known for her run through the ground and ability to create scoring opportunities for her side.

Also joining Brooke Walker in the team this week will be first-year Blue Charlotte Hammans, her second game in Navy Blue after appearing in Round 1.

Hammans gets her second chance at the elite level after impressive form through the first three rounds of the VFLW season.

It will be a homecoming for the young Blue who spent the first year of her career in Queensland on the Suns’ list.

Hammans comes into the side in place of tall forward Serena Gibbs who has been omitted for the Round 8 clash. 

Reliable defender Charlotte Wilson will also miss the Blues’ second interstate game of the season, the third-year Blue managed this week.

For Queensland Bluebaggers, there is still a chance to secure tickets to the match at Metricon Stadium.
