Brisbane boasts a very healthy list ahead of the their first taste of interclub action this preseason, with only draftee Lilly Baker confined to the watt bike as she works through a stress reaction in her foot.

Last season's breakthrough winger Charlie Mullins looks set to bring her neat foot skills to the backline for part of the year, as will Lily Postlethwaite, who spent some time in the line last year.

Key back Poppy Boltz is likely to see some time further up the field, as will captain Breanna Koenen who shaved a chunk off her time trial PB earlier in the preseason. Irishwoman Jennifer Dunne opted out of the Gaelic season this year, and seems ready to take her game to a new level as a key defensive post alongside Shannon Campbell.

Dunne's countrywoman Neasa Dooley who was signed in the off-season is set to play an important role across half-forward, already boasting a neat kicking style and willingness to compete.

Draftee Claudia Wright has also shaken off a nasty leg break that kept her out of the 2024 U18 Championships to show her wares across half-back. Ally Anderson and Sophie Conway are also in full training with no concerns after undergoing surgical procedures following the 2024 Grand Final.

Brisbane and Gold Coast will play off in a match simulation at Brighton Homes Arena on Friday from 5pm.
