Western Bulldogs number one draft pick Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner is excited to make her debut against Greater Western Sydney on Saturday.
Western-Turner is one of four Bulldogs who will make her debut in the game.
The forward came through the Western Jets pathway having played her junior football with Sunshine Heights and then Spotswood,
Speaking at a joint press conference with Tom Liberatore, Weston-Turner said it was really exciting.
“It’s flown by really quick,” she said. “I think pre-season went by like that.
“It’s pretty special now that you know, I’m running out with the red, white and blue on Saturday and get to debut.
“I’m really excited.”
Weston-Turner said the vibe around the club was really good with the women’s side kicking off their season and the men’s side in finals.
The teenager was asked about the men’s and women’s matches overlapping on September 5.
There are reports the women’s match so it is now played at the MCG before the men’s final with Hawthorn.
Weston-Turner said she was focused on round one.
“It’s great that our men’s program are now playing finals and we’re starting off our season coming off a really strong pre-season,” she said.
“So we’re looking forward to the clash against GWS and then next week against Hawthorn for the men’s.
“I think we’re really focused on round one and then when round two comes along we’ll cross that bridge.
“Obviously, we’d love to be there and support our men’s program as well as they’d love to be down here to support us, but we know that we’ll be watching regardless.”
