North Melbourne has made five changes to its VFLW side leading into Round 7 clash with an in-form Port Melbourne outfit.

AFLW-listed duo Ruby Tripodi and Taylah Gatt have been managed and will miss the Saturday night hitout.

It will be just the second game Gatt has missed this season, while Tripodi, who arrived at Arden Street after Round 2, has featured in the club's past four games.

However, returning to the line-up is Ciara Fitzgerald. The defender has been one of the Kangaroos' most impressive performers so far this year, and has recovered from a concussion sustained in Round 6 against Darebin to become available.

Joining her as inclusions are Mara McSweeney, Annie Xanthos, Dalia Edward and Jennifer Guy, who has been named to play her first VFLW game since injuring her ACL in early stages of last season against Casey.

Guy has played the past three matches with Old Launcestonians in Tasmania to build up her game time, and has managed to play a crucial role and hit the scoreboard.

Forwards Jade Hillas (omitted) and Felicity Theodore (illness), and defender Kiara Delia (omitted) have also made way.

Delia, Ash Melnikas, Margie Purcell and Jess Nursey are the four emergencies.

Bouncedown is scheduled for 7pm on Saturday at ETU Stadium and you can live stream it via AFL.com.au and the AFL Live Official App.
