The under-18 girls outfit travels to RMIT Bundoora for the round two clash, fresh off a 50-point loss to the Oakleigh Chargers last weekend.
Murray's opponent claimed a strong win against Bendigo Pioneers in the season opener, saluting by 22 points away from home.
Bushrangers coach Mario de Santa-ana spoke about the team's start to the season and how he expected a competitive outing against the Jets.
“It’s hard to make comparisons, but we were competitive in both our practice matches and we played against quality opposition,” he said.
“Calder were runners-up last year, then we played the third rated side in round one against Oakleigh.
“(And) we finished the game off really well.
“I think we’ll be competitive as the season goes on, and that’s all we’re looking for in the girls, it’s that ongoing development.”
For today's clash, the Bushrangers have welcomed Benalla's Mani Foubister into the line-up, with the versatile youngster set to make her NAB League debut.
Benalla's Madison and Tayissa Gray have made way, while last week's top performer Olivia Barber misses due to concussion.
There were multiple local standouts in the loss to the Chargers last week, with defender and Benalla product Keeley Skepper starring across half-back.
Skepper had four rebounding 50s and six kicks and featured in the list of better players.
Finley product Olivia Cicolini showcased her creativity in the forward line alongside Seymour's Chloe Locke, with the duo each booting a goal.
● Today's match against the Western Jets starts at 1.15 pm at Bundoora's RMIT campus.
