TEAMS: VFLW Round 10

The VFLW teams for Round 10.

North Melbourne Werribee will continue its chase for an historic threepeat without 2025 VFLW Team of the Year captain Maddie Di Cosmo.

The two-time premiership star suffered an ACL injury late in last week’s win over Collingwood and won’t take any further part in the 2026 campaign.

The Kangaroos will also be without skipper Renee Tierney and Charlotte Ryan when they host the Casey Demons on Saturday.

Williamstown will be without star midfielder Emily Eaves for its clash with Tasmania at DSV Stadium. The reigning Coaches MVP is expected to be sidelined for two weeks.

The Devils have also taken a hit with former Collingwood forward Georgia Clark heading north after being signed by the GWS Giants as an injury replacement player for the 2026 NAB AFLW Season.

Clark played her first game of the season last week and was prominent in Tasmania’s impressive win over Geelong.

Carlton regains ball magnet Hannah Scott and will also unveil three debutants, including Alli Allen and Maddy Meagher who were this week named in the U18 Girls All Australian Team after starring for Vic Metro at the Marsh AFL National Championships.

The Blues have opted to withdraw the four AFLW-listed players who featured in last week’s win over the Box Hill Hawks.

Sandringham has suffered a blow ahead of its clash with Darebin with Charlotte Taylor sidelined by an ankle injury.

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