We use object pronouns as the object of a verb:

She doesn't like Roy : She doesn’t like him

and after prepositions:

 We can use a possessive pronoun instead of a full noun phrase to avoid repeating words:

Is that Doni's car?
     No, it's mine.
 (NOT No, it's [my car].)

Whose coat is this?
     Is it yours? (NOT Is it [your coat]?)

Her coat is Black.
     Mine is brown

These aren't our new uniforms.

     These are theirs.
