AFLW Season 9: The Final Countdown Begins
Round 8 of the AFLW Season 9 is just around the corner, and the stakes are higher than ever. With the mid-week football experiment behind us, fans can now focus on a jam-packed weekend of thrilling matches.
Thursday Night Lights
The action kicks off on Thursday night as Carlton takes on the Western Bulldogs at IKON Park. The Blues are riding high after their upset win over the Dockers last week and will be looking to maintain their momentum. Meanwhile, the Bulldogs are desperate for their third win of the season and will stop at nothing to get it.
Friday Night Frenzy
On Friday, Port Adelaide hosts St Kilda at Alberton Oval in a must-win match for both teams. The Saints have been inconsistent in recent weeks, while the Power’s young core has been firing on all cylinders. This one promises to be a Friday night classic.
The Western Derby
Saturday brings us the highly anticipated Western Derby between Fremantle and West Coast in Perth. The Dockers have dominated their crosstown rivals in their short history, but the “Daisy Effect” could be the game-changer the Eagles need to turn the tables.
