Hildebrand suffered an ankle injury during the Bulldogs' Anzac Day clash with the Raiders and hasn't taken to the court since.
Her absence in the midcourt has paved the way for some of the club's up-and-coming players to make their senior debut.
Youngster Allanah Foley is among the players to have taken the leap this season, coming up from the under-17s to take on Myrtleford back in round six.
"She came on in the centre and did a very nice job," Wodonga coach Sally Anthony said.
"She was mature and controlled and really stepped up her game.

"Because we've had Lyndal out, that midcourt spot has opened up for us to look at the younger girls.
"All of them have held their own and been consistent.
"Hopefully Lyndal will be back this weekend."

Wodonga is still waiting on their first win this season.
