For a third consecutive game, the North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos have named an unchanged line-up.
A clash with the third-placed Magpies lies next on the agenda for the Kangaroos who are still striving towards locking in a Season 7 finals berth.
Collingwood has won its past four outings to sit with a 7-1 record, but it was Darren Crocker's side that prevailed by 23 points in the last meeting between the two clubs.
From the moment North Melbourne entered the AFLW in 2019 and even started building its inaugural list prior to the season, a rivalry with Collingwood emerged.
The sides have battled on five occasions throughout the League's history, each finding themselves on the receiving end of finals defeats courtesy of the other.
The rivalry continues this week when the same Kangaroos outfit that overpowered Port Adelaide by 25 points last week travels to Victoria Park.
Charli Granville, Danielle Hardiman and Sophia McCarthy have been named as the emergencies, replacing Ella Maurer, Grace Matser and Perri King in the squad.
King sustained a fractured finger during the non-selected players practice match last weekend and will need to avoid contact and skill-based drills for two weeks, while Maurer will miss through illness.

Matser, Hardiman, McCarthy and Hannah Bowey, who has progressed through League concussion protocols, will all play in a practice match at Gosch's Paddock from 9am AEDT on Saturday.
Grace Campbell (knee) and Cassidy Mailer (bone stress) remain unavailable for selection, but Ellie Gavalas (hamstring) is likely to be available for next week's bout with the Tigers.
North Melbourne will face off with the Magpies at Victoria Park from 1.10pm AEDT on Saturday.
