Rhyce Shaw has named his extended 24-player squad for Sunday's Elimination Final at People First Stadium.

The SUNS will swing at least five changes for Sunday's clash against the Hawks with All Australian squad duo Daisy D'Arcy and Ava Usher both named to return after missing Round 12 with concussion protocols and suspension respectively.

Clara Fitzpatrick has been named to return for her 50th AFLW game on Sunday in the heart of defence, alongside Charlotte Wilson who will play her first game of the season. The 25-year-old adds valuable finals experience having previously featured in three finals for Carlton.

Dekota Baron has also been named at full-forward after missing the Round 12 win over the Giants.

Confirmed outs are Meara Girvan and Rhianna Ingram who are both currently in concussion protocols.

The squad is littered with players who will run out for their first final this weekend, including Charlie Rowbottom who was one of five players included in the All Australian squad on Thursday afternoon.

In total, the squad features 13 StreetSmarts SUNS Academy graduates.

The final 21-player team will be confirmed at 4pm AEST Friday.

Gates are open from 1pm ahead of a 2:05pm first bounce at People First Stadium. Entry is $15 for adults with free entry for children. Get your tickets here.
