North Melbourne Tasmanian Kangaroos premiership skipper Emma Kearney is in line to return for Sunday's AFLW Indigenous Round clash against Walyalup (Fremantle).

Kearney will be looking to feature for the first time in 2025 when the Roos head to Fremantle Community Bank Oval, having missed the first two rounds with a calf injury.

The 35-year-old inaugural Roo handed over the captaincy to superstar midfielder Jasmine Garner in July.

Joining Kearney in the squad is fellow premiership hero Jenna Bruton, who was a late out for Round 2 with quad tightness, and potential debutant Ella Slocombe.

The Kangaroos' final team will be confirmed on Friday at 5pm AEST.
