ST KILDA leading goalkicker Caitlin Greiser has been omitted for the side's round three match against Melbourne, while a number of other sides made some big calls at the selection table.

Greiser is yet to kick a goal this season, and has gathered just a handful of disposals across the first two rounds. The Saints will debut No.12 draft selection Ashleigh Richards as they welcome back Rhiannon Watt, Isabella Shannon and Tahlia Meyer. Alana Woodward and Renee Saulitis have been omitted alongside Greiser, while Nat Exon will miss through injury after just one game back.

The Demons regain the experience of Shelley Scott, Sarah Lampard, Casey Sherriff and Shelley Heath, who all missed through the competition's health and safety protocols last week, while Lily Mithen will sit out through those same protocols.

Lauren Magee, Alison Brown and Krstel Petrevski have all been omitted.

Fremantle star forward Roxy Roux will make her first appearance for 2022 and former captain Kara Antonio will return, as Janelle Cuthbertson misses due to a head knock she copped against the Giants, and the tough Ann McMahon will be managed.

Richmond is another side to regain plenty of experience, with Sarah D'Arcy, Maddy Shevlin and Tayla Stahl all returning from health and safety protocols, and Sophie Molan will play her first game of the year.

Courtney Wakefield will miss with a shoulder injury, and Tessa Lavey's strong start to the year has been paused as she goes into the AFL's health and safety protocols.

The Crows will be without captain Chelsea Randall after she injured her hamstring last week against North Melbourne, and a head knock will see emerging ruck Caitlin Gould also miss.

Abbie Ballard, selected at No.34 in last year's NAB AFLW Draft, will make her debut and Jasmyn Hewett will also line up for Adelaide for the first time since returning to the club.

After 712 days on the sidelines thanks to an ACL injury on debut, West Coast defender Ashton Hill returns and the Eagles have also named debutant Sarah Lakay.

Captain Emma Swanson will miss due to suspension, and the experienced Ashlee Atkins is out of the side due to health and safety protocols.
