AFLW round four: Team changes and kit review

AFLW round four team selections reveal significant roster changes across several clubs. Carlton has omitted veteran Gab Pound, while Collingwood will play without Sarah Rowe. Geelong is utilizing top-up players due to an injury list that includes Zali Friswell, Emma Kilpatrick, Piper Dunlop, and Priya Bowering.

North Melbourne has strengthened its lineup with the returns of Erika O'Shea and Eilish Sheerin. Meanwhile, Brisbane will debut Madison Evans and Asher Fearn-Wann as the club manages multiple injuries. St Kilda will also see the debut of Carys D'Addario.

Separately, the AFL is reviewing its playing kit approval process following a recent jersey clash between North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs. One potential solution being considered is the introduction of different colored shorts to ensure player visibility during matches.
