The rebel VFLW teams for Round 7.

The Western Bulldogs have named four AFLW players to take on Williamstown in Sunday’s clash at DSV Stadium.

Among those is 2023 AFLW Draft No. 1 selection Kristie-Lee Weston-Turner, who will play her first rebel VFLW match following seven AFLW games in her debut season.

She is joined in the Bulldogs’ line-up by Jess Fitzgerald, Britney Gutknecht and Sarah Poustie as they look to arrest a two-game losing run.

VFLW games-record holder Mia-Rae Clifford has been named to play her first game for North Melbourne-Werribee in the clash with Port Melbourne at ETU Stadium.

The veteran’s last VFLW game was at the same venue, when she was part of the Western Bulldogs’ team that went down to the Kangaroos in last year’s Grand Final.

Clifford is joined in the Roos’ team by premiership player Georgia Nicholls, who will play her first game of the 2025 campaign.

The Borough have included Olivia Barton and Georgia Foran among five changes.

Box Hill Hawks have lost skipper Ellie McLinden to an ankle injury for the trip to Windy Hill to take on ladder-leader Essendon. In her place, the Hawks have named two debutants, including GWS Giants Academy product Amelie Prosser-Shaw.

The Bombers regain Sophie Molan among four changes.

Casey Demons selected last year’s best and fairest runner-up Shree Fairchild for their clash with Carlton at Casey Fields, along with former AFL National Academy Girls member Bianca Lyne.

Sandringham has lost Geelong AFLW signing Erica Fowler ahead of its clash with Collingwood at Victoria Park, however Tayla Kearns is among three inclusions to take on the unchanged Magpies.

Darebin will be without Shannon Egan when it hosts bottom-placed Geelong at Genis Steel Oval. The Falcons do regain Riley Christgoergl after missing last week’s big win over the Casey Demons.

BROADCAST AND STREAMING: All matches in the 2025 rebel VFLW season will be live streamed free via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
