While it's bad news for playing coach Kylie Murphy who suffered a season ending knee injury, as well the loss of several key players at different stages, their absence has provided opportunities for the club's young guns to prove themselves.

12-year-old Lizzy Murphy has experienced her second game in A-grade after making her debut this season, while youngsters Isla Bell and Michaela Farrugia have impressed after making the leap.

"It's been a really good opportunity for the young girls to step up with the A-graders," Murphy said.

"I think it's really going to help them in the long run.

"We tried a new shooting combination against Tallangatta and it's working really well.

"I'm excited for the last four weeks now that we've worked out a few new combinations."

The Roos play Dederang on Saturday.
