The VFLW teams for Round 6.

Port Melbourne premiership forward Courteney Bromage returns for the Borough’s trip to IKON Park to face Carlton. Bromage last featured in her team’s Round 3 win over Tasmania.

Essendon will take on undefeated Collingwood without Bri McFarlane, however the Bombers have included Jayda Richardson and Jess Verbrugge.

Vergrugge featured in three AFLW games for the club in 2025 when added as an injury replacement player and will now play her first VFLW match for the club.

The Magpies have made three forced changes, with recruit Lily Jordan among the additions.

Box Hill Hawks have been hit by injury as they prepare to take on the Western Bulldogs at Mission Whitten Oval.

Tess Cattle will be sidelined indefinitely after sustaining a knee injury early in last week’s defeat to North Melbourne Werribee, while Caitlin Thorne and Stasia Stevenson also come out of the Hawks’ line-up.

Williamstown has named an unchanged line-up as it hunts a fourth-straight win when it hosts the Casey Demons at DSV Stadium. The Seagulls are looking to make history, having never recorded a home win over the Demons in five attempts.

Tasmania will take on Sandringham at Wilson Storage Trevor Barker Beach Oval on Sunday without Gabbi Featherson due to injury.

The Zebras also have their own injury issues to contend with but have included Zoe Barbakos and Issy Hartog among five inclusions.

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