TEAMS: VFLW Round 11

The VFLW teams for Round 11.

Coaches MVP leader Dom Carbone will sit out Collingwood clash with Darebin at Preston City Oval.

Having dominated the opening ten rounds of the season, the in-form skipper is one of four changes for the Magpies who have brought in AFLW-listed duo Sabrina Frederick and Georgia Knight.

Darebin will be without 2024 Rohenna Young Medal winner Monique DeMatteo as they look to produce a boilover.

Western Bulldogs have included seven AFLW-listed players to take on Sandringham at Mission Whitten Oval

Lauren Ahrens, Brooke Barwick, Analea McKee, Lou Stephenson, Ellie Gavalas and draftees Mizuki Brothwell and Amaia Wain have all been included, although in-form midfield Jorja Livingstone is unavailable

Sandringham has included St Kilda duo Darcy Guttridge and Chelsea Sutton, as well as top-line VFLW-listed quartet Zoe Barbakos, Jordan Membrey, Charlotte Taylor and Tayla Kearns.

Carlton recruit Kiara Bischa will play her second game for the club when the Blues take on Williamstown at IKON Park. The former Gold Coast Suns defender played in the Round 9 victory over the Box Hill Hawks.

Williamstown will be bolstered by the return of reigning Coaches MVP Emily Eaves after she missed last week's win over Tasmania, while former Box Hill Hawks defender Ellie McLinden will make her club debut after recovering from a knee injury.

Geelong has included forward recruit Jasmin Stewart for its trip to Casey Fields to tackle the Casey Demons.

Stewart has played 42 AFLW games for Port Adelaide and Fremantle before linking up with the Cats as a delisted free agent at the conclusion of the 2025 season. She's joined in the Cats' line-up by draftee Renee Morgan.

Box Hill has been struck by injury and unavailability for its clash with Essendon at the Kennedy Community Centre, with star playmaker Kayley Kavanagh and leader Rosie Dillon among four outs.

The Bombers have lost key goal kicker Christina Bernardi to a finger 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.
