The VFLW teams for Round 3.

North Melbourne Werribee premiership captain Renee Tierney will play for the Kangaroos when they host Darebin and unfurl their 2025 flag in their first home game at Arden Street Oval for the season.

The Falcons have made a big call at the selection table, with 2024 competition leading goal kicker Monique De Matteo omitted, while Lulu Beatty has entered concussion protocols.

Geelong skipper Mel Staunton comes back into the Cats lineup for their clash with the Box Hill Hawks at Deakin University, while the Hawks have included Caitlin Thorne.

Collingwood regains Lauren Szigeti for its trip to Mission Whitten Oval to take on the Western Bulldogs. Both sides are looking to maintain their undefeated starts to 2026.

Williamstown has named Jazmin Tweddle-O’Donnell for her first match since Round 5, 2024 when it travels to Windy Hill to take on Essendon.

Sandringham will be without Zoe Barbakos and Jordan Membrey when it takes on Carlton at IKON Park. The injured duo are out among five changes for the Zebras.

Meanwhile, Kate Adams and Grace Dicker will both miss Port Melbourne’s match against Tasmania after sustaining injuries during last week’s close win over Darebin.

STREAMING: All matches in the 2026 VFLW season will be live streamed free via the AFL website, AFL Live Official App and VFL App.
