MELBOURNE is set to face Port Adelaide for the first time in AFLW history.

The Dees will travel to Alberton Oval on Sunday to meet the Power in an official practice match.

For the final hit-out before Round 1, Melbourne has named a 24-player squad with a combination of fresh and experienced talent bolstering the side.

Paxy Paxman and Gab Colvin will be travelling to Adelaide for their first game of the pre-season, having missed last week’s match simulation against Carlton due to injury.

Fans will once again get a look at an array of new Demons with Ryleigh Wotherspoon, Alyssia Pisano, Denby Taylor, Grace Hill and Grace Beasley all selected for the Sunday game.

Delany Madigan and Lily Johnson have been named as emergencies.

The practice match will consist of four 15-minute quarters (with time on) as per the regular in-season game set-up.

For supporters unable to make it to Alberton Oval, the match will be live streamed here from 11:30am (AEST) tomorrow.
