The Saints will head into the 2023 AFLW Season with nearly a full bill of health.

Four players will be unavailable for the Round 1 clash in Tassie, including Jayde Van Dyk who has been placed on the inactive list this season.

“While we’d love to have everyone available, having nearly a full list to begin this year’s campaign is a strong start,” General Manager of AFLW Tessie McManus said.

“We’re expecting J’Noemi Anderson to be available next week as she recovers from a corked calf.

“It’s also really exciting to have Renee Saulitis closing in on a return following her ACL recovery.

“Renee is such a professional young athlete and it will be great to have her among the mix very soon.”

Meanwhile, Bec Ott is continuing to manage an Achilles injury, with the defender expected to miss the first half of the season.
