The rebel VFLW teams for Round 11.

Carlton has included 11 AFLW-listed players for its trip to Victoria Park to take on red-hot Collingwood on Saturday.

Darcy Vescio headlines the inclusions, with former VFLW skipper Eliza Wood to play her first game since being added to the Blues’ AFLW list. Meanwhile, Tara Bohanna and Irish recruits Siofra O’Connell and Aisling Reidy will all make their club debut.

The Casey Demons have gone the other way for their battle with Geelong at Casey Fields, with 11 AFLW-listed players managed after featuring in last week’s breakthrough win over Essendon at Windy Hill.

North Melbourne has named an unchanged line-up for the second Grand Final rematch of the year when it takes on the Western Bulldogs under lights at Mission Whitten Oval on Friday.

The Bulldogs have made three changes, which includes losing Amelia Klingbeil to injury.

Essendon and Darebin have each regained key players for their crunch game at Windy Hill on Sunday.

Sophie Molan returns for the Bombers as they aim to break a four-game losing run which has seen them slip outside the top six, while co-captain Caitlin Bunker returns for a game the Falcons simply must win to stay in the finals race.

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.
