AFLW round 7: All the teams and tips for the upcoming AFLW round

The Blues will get a crucial piece of their puzzle back for their clash with Collingwood, setting up a huge round 7 of AFLW. See all the teams and who our experts are picking here.

Carlton will regain skipper Kerryn Peterson for its crucial clash against Collingwood on Sunday after she passed a fitness test following another knee setback.

The defender will line up alongside Vaomua Laloifi after the consistent Blue overcame her own knee concern in time for the clash, while the Magpies will make at least two forced changes after losing defenders Stacey Livingstone and Selena Karlson to one-week suspensions.

Sarah Sansonetti is the only Collingwood inclusion to have been named on the field ahead of the Indigenous Round blockbuster at Ikon Park.

Melbourne has been forced into a raft of changes following its 10-point loss to Adelaide, with Lauren Pearce (shoulder), Tayla Harris and Maddi Gay all set to miss the trip to Perth to face West Coast through injury.

The Demons will field their most inexperienced side in recent years, with Paxy Paxman also still out due to a concussion from a pet dog-related incident last week.

Former St Kilda ruck Rhi Watt could play her first game for Melbourne, while junior cricket sensation Georgia Gall is in line for an AFLW debut after being named on the extended bench.

Georgia Campbell will play her seventh game for the Demons after being named on the field for the Sunday afternoon clash at Mineral Resources Park.

Richmond has finally experienced some relief amid its injury crisis, with vice-captain Sarah Hosking returning against Essendon at Ikon Park on Saturday night along with Gabby Seymour and Bec Miller.

Beth Lynch will miss for the Tigers due to suspension, while Essendon will enter unchanged following its stunning 10-point upset win over Geelong in Warrnambool.

Bulldogs coach Nathan Burke has recalled small forward Daisy Bateman along with premiership defenders Bailey Hunt and Naomi Ferres for Friday night’s clash against Adelaide at Norwood Oval, after the Dogs lost important duo Deanna Berry (knee) and Katie Lynch to injury and dropped Richelle Cranston.

Fremantle will remain without star midfielder Kiara Bowers in Geelong on Saturday afternoon, with the Cats bringing in teenage on-baller Gabbi Featherston for Abbey McDonald.
