Caitlin Greiser and Rhiannon Watt have been selected in the Round 3 AFLW Team of the Week.

The pair were instrumental in St Kilda's maiden triumph at RSEA Park, battling tirelessly throughout the evening to will the Saints over the line.

Greiser booted two of the red, white and black's three goals and collected 11 disposals to earn a nomination for the NAB Rising Star.

The 21-year-old etched herself into St Kilda folklore after unleashing a monster kick from outside 50 to put the Saints in front in the final few minutes, with her effort rewarded with a Goal of the Year nomination.
