The West Coast Eagles have made multiple changes to the team ahead of Friday night’s matchup with Port Adelaide at Mineral Resources Park.

Versatile defender Eleanor Hartill returns to the squad following two weeks on the sidelines recovering from a concussion she sustained in round two against Gold Coast.

Ella Smith will play her first game of the season, the crafty midfielder working her way back into the team to take on Port, while forward Kate Bartlett has been recalled to provide some scoreboard pressure for the Eagles.  

After been named as an emergency last round, defender Sasha Goranova returns the team this week and will look to add some additional intensity to West Coast’s backline.

Amy Franklin, Abbygail Bushy, Emma Humphries and Jess Sedunary have been omitted.

Bouncedown for the round five clash is at 7:15pm and the match will be broadcast live on 7 and 7plus, Fox Footy, Kayo, the AFL and AFLW Live Official apps.
