VFLW Grand Final

Sunday, July 21
North Melbourne v Western Bulldogs at ETU Stadium, 12.10pm AEST

How they got here

The Kangaroos finished the home and away season in fourth place on the ladder to secure a VFLW finals berth for the first time.

They thrashed Essendon at Arden Street Oval in the second elimination final before sweeping aside minor premiers Williamstown by 18 points in the second semi-final.

The Western Bulldogs finished the home and away season in second spot and had to take the extended route to the Grand Final after losing to Williamstown in the qualifying final during the opening week of the finals.
 
The Bulldogs responded by beating reigning premier Port Melbourne at Mission Whitten Oval in the first semi-final before turning the tables on Williamstown in the preliminary final with a 44-point triumph.

Last time they met

North Melbourne and the Western Bulldogs have met twice during the 2024 rebel VFLW season, sharing one win apiece.
 
The Kangaroos claimed a 22-point win at Mission Whitten Oval in the opening round of the year, before the Bulldogs produced a seven-point victory at Arden Street Oval in the final round of the season.
