Defender Nicole Hales returns after she was unavailable last week, while Tasmanian Academy player Abbie Hoiberg-Cox has been named to play her first VFLW game.

Matilda Zander and Sarah Hosking are back in after missing the last one and two games respectively, while Margie Purcell rounds out the inclusions.

After making her VFLW return in Round 6, Meagan Kiely will miss Sunday's match-up with a finger injury, as will Grainne McLaughlin, who is unavailable.

Sarah King, Annabel Scott, and Annaleise Xanthos also make way.

The Roos will be hunting their first win since Round 2 when they head to Sandringham. The Saints are in the same situation, being yet to claim points since defeating Darebin on the final day of March.

Bouncedown on Sunday morning is scheduled for 9.45am AEST.
