Imogen Evans and Annie Lee have been added to the injury list.

"Collingwood AFLW defender Annie Lee and third-year Magpie Imogen Evans are set to spend some time on the sidelines as the pair recover from injury.

Lee, who was traded to the Pies from Carlton at the end of 2023, will miss the remainder of the 2024 NAB AFLW Season having sustained an acute cartilage injury to her left knee during the Pies’ Week 1 match against the Sydney Swans.

The 21-year-old is expected to consult with a surgeon in the coming days.

Evans sustained a hamstring strain to her left leg during training on Tuesday evening.

The 20-year-old, who was originally drafted to Collingwood in 2022, re-joined the Pies AFLW list during the pre-season period as a replacement player.

Evans is expected to be sidelined for four-six weeks."

Article by Sarah Black on the need to increase list sizes:

"AFTER just one game of the 2024 NAB AFLW season, Collingwood was needing top-up players to form a squad of 24 to face Hawthorn.

The Pies lost by 47 points to the Hawks, with Muireann Atkinson (concussion), Lauren Butler (calf), Imogen Evans (hamstring), Kalinda Howarth (ACL), Mikayla Hyde (foot), Annie Lee (knee), Charlotte Taylor (foot) and the suspended Tarni White all sidelined.

With one of the deepest Telstra AFLW Drafts we've seen on the horizon, it's time to extend AFLW lists to 32 over the next two years."
